What happens when the world’s most famous beach partners with the hottest hotel brand on earth? Well, it certainly draw’s the attention of Golf Aficionado Magazine. The dynamic duo of Daytona Beach and Hard Rock Hotel has put Daytona Beach squarely on the map as one of the best destinations in Florida.
Daytona Beach has long been a popular destination for spring breakers, NASCAR fans, and beach lovers. Home to several major events year-round such as Spring Break, Biketoberfest, and any race week there is no shortage of things to see and do in Daytona. However, Daytona Beach never had the glitz or glam of a dynamic beach getaway. Most people tend to think of Daytona Beach as being a city full of rowdy adolescents, bikers, or race fans.
So what’s changed? Daytona Beach is undergoing a renaissance, the once sleepy beach town home to teenagers and bikers has been revitalized by several major investments. At the top of the list of those investments is the new Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach which opened in March 2018.
The Hard Rock Hotel provides Daytona Beach with the missing element that has long kept it an overlooked golf detestation. A luxury resort with attitude, Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach can cater to any crowd ranging from the Davidson’s to the Rockefeller’s. The new hotel provides guest with a luxury escape that is amazingly close to the beach, golf, and the Daytona Motor Speedway; home to the Daytona 500.
Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach has 20,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space. 200 guest rooms ranging from 350 to 790 square feet, and each room includes Hard Rock’s “The Sound of Your Stay” amenity program. This program allows you to check out vinyl records & player or pick out a Fender guitar from the front desk. You’ll be able to rock out in your room, headphones included!
Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach does not have a casino but that is about the only thing the resort does not offer. Located only 10 miles away from some of the best golf in Central Florida, we’re betting Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach is going to be attracting golfers from all around the world.
Golf in Daytona Beach? Why Yes! What few golfers fail to realize is Daytona Beach is home to LPGA Headquarters and LPGA International, a 36-hole complex featuring two of the best golf courses in Florida. Daytona Beach, Hard Rock Hotel, and LPGA international all combine to provide a perfect mix of excitement, world-class oceanfront accommodations, and of course GOLF!
Daytona Beach’s golf roots go back to the late 1980s when the Ladies Professional Golf Association was searching for a new headquarters, the City of Daytona Beach made the LPGA an offer they could not refuse. The city rolled out the red carpet, renamed Eleventh Street to LPGA Boulevard and provided funding to build a new golf course on undeveloped land near the western border of the city. Following a donation of 650 acres of land to the city, LPGA International was established and the Jones Course opened for business in 1994. Four years later, a second course designed by Arthur Hills opened providing LPGA International with a second 18-hole championship golf course.
LPGA International has been around for more than 20 years, yet never seems to make it atop anyone’s list of top golf destinations. We believe the opening of Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach is about to change all of that. To be quite honest, it’s ridiculous! We’re talking about the headquarters of the LPGA, 2 fabulous golf courses, and the chance to rub shoulders with some of the biggest names and future stars of the LPGA. A few things you can always count on when you make the trip to LPGA International; amazing course conditions, a stiff challenge, and incredible value.
In fact, LPGA International might just be one of the best values in golf. A typical round on either the Hills or Jones course will cost you less than $40. Talk about bang for your buck, the caliber of these courses and the tip-top conditions year round make it nearly impossible to find anything that comes close.
Talk about bang for your buck, your vacation dollars probably won’t go further anywhere else than in Daytona Beach. For instance, right now the going rate for a room at Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach starts at around $150 a night, book 2 weeks and advance and save an additional 15%. Accommodations at the lavish Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach, steps from the Atlantic beachfront, 10 miles from LPGA International and 36 holes of world-class championship golf for less than $40 a round. Total that up and for less than $200/night you’re staying at the Hard Rock Hotel on the world’s most famous beach spending the day building sand castles or hitting bunkers shots on some of Florida’s best golf courses.
