DoubleTree Beach Resort is located at 17120 Gulf Blvd. in North Redington Beach, Florida, midway between St. Pete Beach and Clearwater Beach.
SPARTANBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA and NORTH REDINGTON BEACH, FLORIDA – DoubleTree Beach Resort by Hilton has completed an extensive renovation project in North Redington Beach, Florida.
“We’re kicking off the season with a fresh new look,” says General Manager Mike Hook. “This is a great time to visit our property. Guests will love the beach-elegant vibe, the resort amenities and, as ever, our ideal position just 150 feet from the Gulf of Mexico.”
Lobby
Nestled on Central Florida’s west coast, DoubleTree Beach Resort Tampa Bay-North Redington Beach underwent a floor-to-ceiling upfit that delivered radiant hues, enhanced amenities, and updated public spaces and guest rooms – all while retaining its beachfront charm. This beautifully transformed DoubleTree made its debut just in time for the destination’s high season. The 7-story, 125-room hotel is owned and operated by OTO Development, which is part of The Johnson Group.
King Bedroom
The DoubleTree’s exterior facelift exudes a bright feel with tropical blues and pinks accenting a sugar-white base. Azure columns welcome guests at the front entrance, while an open, contemporary lobby establishes an elegant-but-casual vibe that carries through all of the redesigned public spaces.
Shiplap paneling, rope screen, and organic ceiling sculpture add charm, while intricate millwork and custom tile flooring lend an air of sophistication. Beach-inspired artwork adds interest at every corner, creating a sense of place for guests.
Other public space edits include a new, well-equipped fitness center, upgraded meeting space with ocean views, and a resurfaced deck around the sparkling outdoor pool. Guest rooms boast remodeled bathrooms and updated furnishings along with the addition of refrigerators and microwaves – elevating an already comfortable, convenient guest experience. Most rooms have balconies overlooking the Gulf and many on the non-Gulf side enjoy water views of Boca Ciega Bay.
Coconut Charlie’s Beach Bar.
DoubleTree’s popular restaurant and tiki hut have been rebranded as Coconut Charlie’s Beach Bar & Grill. Open to locals as well as hotel guests, the venue offers casual bites at the beach bar and a more elevated menu at the grill; an extensive drinks list offers everything from handcrafted cocktails to boozy slushies to local brews. Seating is available inside or out on a spacious veranda
overlooking the warm, emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico, making this North Redington’s new favorite sunset spot.
Coconut Charlie’s is a fresh, fun beach concept conceived by OTO Development. In addition to its original location at Hilton Garden Inn in nearby St. Pete Beach, Florida, Coconut Charlie’s has locations at Hyatt Place in Panama City Beach, Florida, and Homewood Suites in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

“DoubleTree Beach Resort’s on-the-Gulf location already made it the most desirable hotel in the area,” says Hook. “With the completion of this fantastic renovation and the launch of Coconut Charlie’s, we can elevate the guest experience even more.” OTO Development partnered on the DoubleTree renovation project with Pond & Company, architect and interior designer; Continental Contractors, interior general contractor; and Valcourt Building Services, exterior general contractor.
