Five Years in the Making: 'V' Restaurant at Hotel Viridian to Debut on Highway 30-A

SEAGROVE BEACH, Fla., Jan. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The much anticipated Hotel Viridian, located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Hwy. 30-A and 395 is currently under construction and nearing completion of phase one of the two-phase project. The hotel's name, "Viridian," draws its inspiration from and pays homage to the blue-green water of the Gulf of Mexico—hence the teaser campaign, "What's Blue and Green and V All Over?" The single-story 6,700-square-foot restaurant "V," with plans to open doors to patrons in February 2011, will be the first phase completed with the hotel portion coming soon.

"This project has been in the making for over five years. My partners and I consider it a beacon of hope for the community—and a true blessing that we're able to see our vision realized," said co-owner and seasoned restaurateur George Hartley. "V" will offer a relaxed eclectic atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor dining for up to 120 seats, and a menu focused on fresh seafood and produce that is locally sourced.

"As a central gathering and dining venue, 'V' will be the heartbeat of Hotel Viridian and will act as a showpiece to our master plan of what life will be like there," added co-owner and partner Chip Haring. Hotel Viridian promises to be the jewel at the center of the new downtown Seagrove project with each of the 30 boutique hotel rooms and 10 villas available for purchase as a fractional ownership.

Beach Properties of Florida are the exclusive brokers of Hotel Viridian and will be opening a satellite office on site. The qualified real estate experts plan to use "V" as a glimpse into the future of the project—"a slice of life" model will unfold on a daily basis to reveal the stylish personality of the restaurant and hotel.

The hotel's luxury king-size units will vary from 600 s.f. studios to 1,200 s.f. corner suites and will feature floor-to-ceiling windows to private terraces offering expansive views overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, custom-designed furnishings, oversized closets, and opulent bathrooms with freestanding sauna tubs and spa.

Hotel Viridian's ultra-chic campus-style setting will include a lobby bar, the restaurant "V," a world-class spa and wellness center, retail shops, and ample parking on the north side of the property. A rooftop garden will boast an infinity-edge pool and five permanent cabanas. The modern inspired design is the brainchild of architect Roger Godwin, principle of Destin-based DAG Architects, in collaboration with McWhorter Architects of Seagrove Beach.
