Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
Just 60 minutes from Miami International Airport, Key Largo Grande Resort & Beach Club, A Hilton Resort offers groups a getaway to paradise without the logistical challenges of foreign travel. A private white-sand beach hidden by 12.5 acres of Everglades hardwood trees creates an exclusive tropical setting that feels light years away from the world outside.
The 200 guest rooms and suites provide a balm for frazzled souls with a decor reflecting the sand and sea environment, private balconies, and feather-soft bedding. A recent $12 million renovation included technological upgrades—such as the latest TVs, iPod docks, and high-speed Internet access—without sacrificing the laid-back island vibe.
Corporate events and business meetings convene in over 10,000 square feet of versatile function space, including two bay-view ballrooms
and an executive boardroom. Planners appreciate the resort’s eco-friendly approach to meetings, an increasingly popular option for groups. Creative options from the catering staff range from formal awards banquets to casual Caribbean buffets to barefoot luaus at the beach.
On the free-time front, group members can explore the keys by kayak, Jet Ski, or sailboard; spend a day deep-sea fishing; or snorkel the colorful
reefs at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park nearby. For meals, on-site food and beverage outlets include Treetops Bar & Grill, featuring fresh
Florida seafood and prime beef, and Waves Beach and Splashes Pool bars for convenient grab-and-go items and waterside refreshments.
