Embassy Suites by Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort
Located within the magnificent Cavalier Oceanfront Resort complex, the illustrious Embassy Suites hotel emerges as a $47 million architectural masterpiece, seamlessly blending opulence with functionality.
With a strategic location, this hotel provides an exclusive gateway to the Virginia Beach boardwalk and immediate access to the oceanfront. The embodiment of sophistication, the 12-story high-rise complex was meticulously crafted with the expertise of Speight Marshall Francis, serving as the Structural Engineer of Record and Agent 1 Special Inspector.
Elevating the standards of luxury accommodation, the hotel comprises 158 lavish rooms and an expansive 15,000 square feet of ground-level space dedicated to conferences, dining, and an array of amenities. Developed by the esteemed Gold Key/PHR Resorts, this 142,000 square foot marvel is not merely a hotel but an experience in itself.
Upon entering, guests are greeted by a captivating indoor pool featuring operable doors that seamlessly transition between indoor and outdoor realms, connecting with the sprawling outdoor pool and lounge amenities. The oceanside tiki bar adds an extra layer of charm, creating an immersive coastal experience. Towering 130 feet above ground level, the hotel presents a breathtaking panorama of the Atlantic Ocean, with each unit boasting expansive, cantilevered balconies, imparting a unique and distinctive profile to the structure.
One of the engineering marvels of the hotel lies in its design strategy, where transfer girders at the 3rd floor deftly support 11 floors above. This ingenious engineering solution facilitates the creation of a wide-open, two-story grand ballroom on the ground level, eliminating the need for intrusive columns within the open space. The result is a harmonious blend of architectural prowess and functional design.
Having etched its presence on the Virginia Beach oceanfront skyline, the Embassy Suites hotel became an integral element of the cityscape upon its opening in early 2023. This luxurious haven stands not only as a testament to architectural brilliance but also as a symbol of the harmonious integration of coastal allure and modern elegance.
