Two Hotels Worth Knowing in the Heart of Old Naples

Quick Answer

If you have family or friends visiting Old Naples this season, two hotels are worth knowing about: Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort (216 rooms and 185 residences), and the Olde Naples Hotel (109 rooms) on Third Street South. Both are relatively recent additions to the neighborhood and sit within walking distance of downtown.

Founded in the late 1880s as a winter retreat, Old Naples (also spelled Olde Naples) remains the city's most historic and most closely watched neighborhood, a mix of tree lined streets, beachfront estates, and two distinct shopping and dining corridors in Fifth Avenue South and the quieter Third Street South. Here are two stays worth having on your radar.

Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort

Opened
November 17, 2025
Hotel rooms
216
Residences
185
Site
125 acres, former Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club

The resort replaces the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club, which dated to 1946 and closed in 2021 for a full redevelopment. It's Four Seasons' sixth Florida property.

Olde Naples Hotel

Opened
May 15, 2026
Hotel rooms
109
Location
200 Broad Ave, between Third St S and Gordon Dr

The boutique property includes a rooftop pool, a spa, and Annie's Bistro, Bar & Bakery. It replaces the former Plaza on Third Street and draws design inspiration from the original 1889 Naples Hotel that once stood on the site.

Why They're Worth Knowing

Together, these two properties add more than 300 hotel rooms and nearly 200 residences within walking distance of downtown Naples. For anyone hosting guests, or tracking Old Naples real estate, hospitality of this scale tends to bring more foot traffic to Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South retail, worth factoring into how the neighborhood's pricing and demand continue to evolve.
