Hotel Effie Grand Opening

La Scène: Where It’s At

Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort started 2021 in style on February 1 with the opening of its new luxury hotel, Hotel Effie Sandestin. Located between the Gulf of Mexico and Choctawhatchee Bay, Hotel Effie was designed to welcome all guests to an experience that exemplifies genuine Southern hospitality and exceptional service wrapped in comfortable luxury. The 250-room hotel also features an upscale spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, the only rooftop pool and lounge on Florida’s Emerald Coast, and Ovide, a signature fine-dining restaurant with a menu curated by James Beard Award–winning chef Hugh Acheson.
