Construction Underway at Frenchman’s Reef, St. Thomas
$425 million resort rebuild set to open summer 2023
November 1, 2020
Our project team recently returned from a site visit in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands to review the construction progress at the iconic Frenchman's Reef Resort.
Kollin Altomare is working with Fortress Investment Group and Aimbridge Hospitality to bring this extensive rebuild project to fruition. A $425 million rebuild effort at the property will result in two new luxury beachside resorts at Frenchman’s Reef: The Morningstar Buoy Haus Beach Resort, Autograph Collection and The Westin Beach Resort & Spa at Frenchman's Reef.
As architect of record, Kollin Altomare has been leading the design team working closely with key consultants including The Johnson Studio (F&B interiors) and Sixteenfifty Creative Intelligence (culinary and public space concepts). Located steps from the beautiful Morningstar Beach, Frenchman’s Reef will serve as an exciting getaway destination in St. Thomas, offering two distinct, yet interconnected resort experiences.
Perched on an elevated peninsula, The Westin Beach Resort & Spa at Frenchman's Reef will offer 392 rooms, including 28 suites, with most accommodations offering sweeping ocean views. Amenities will include six restaurants and lounges inspired by the destination, three ocean view pools located on an expansive pool deck featuring a pool bar and cabanas, a Heavenly Spa by Westin with 13 treatment rooms, a private dock to access a multitude of secluded islands, private adventure beach with abundant programming for all ages, retail shopping outlets and 72,000-square-feet of meeting and event space.
Situated along a beautiful ¼ mile stretch of beach, The Morningstar Buoy Haus Beach Resort, Autograph Collection will offer a more secluded stay experience with 94 guest rooms, including two suites. The resort will showcase an additional four destination-inspired open-air restaurants and lounges, an infinity-edge oceanfront pool with a swim-up bar, a health club, and 13,000-square-feet of meeting and event space.
