Gulfstream Hotel Project
The historic Gulfstream Hotel, opened in 1925, has been vacant for 15 years. In 2019, Restoration St. Louis, led by Amrit and Amy Gill, began securing City approvals, gathering feedback, and preparing plans for restoration.
The historic Gulfstream Hotel originally opened in 1925 but has sat vacant at the foot of the Lake Worth Bridge by Bryant Park for 15 years. Beginning in the summer of 2019, Restoration St. Louis, led by Amrit and Amy Gill, began the process to obtain City approvals to bring the hotel back to life.
Project Details
The application included the restoration of the historic hotel with 90 rooms and a restaurant/bar as well as an addition. The addition on the vacant properties to the west of the hotel will provide for an additional 50 rooms, 85 apartments, a 273 space parking garage, meeting and ballroom spaces, a spa/salon, a gym and rooftop restaurant and pool.
In April 2022, the project received its first approvals from the City's Historic Resources Preservation Board with further recommendations to the City Commission for consideration.
Over the intervening months, Restoration St Louis has been collaborating with its design team and the City to prepare a formal set of construction documents to be submitted as part of a building permit application. The Developer also has met with the City's Utility Departments to coordinate public infrastructure improvements including water, sewer, stormwater and electric, which will be part of the project.
Project Update — 10/31/2023
Restoration St Louis has been working diligently over the summer to prepare a set of construction documents for the restoration of the existing historic hotel. A preliminary set of construction documents was provided to the City in early-October for a cursory review and comment. The preliminary set has been routed to the appropriate members of the Site Plan Review Team.
Restoration St Louis has submitted a final plat for review and approval by the City. The final plat also includes the establishment of new access/ingress/egress and utility easements and will facilitate separate parcels for the historic hotel and new hotel addition.
