Davidson Hospitality Group has been named the operator of two interconnected resorts in St Thomas, US Virgin Islands, marking an expansion of its Caribbean presence.

The two properties are The Westin Beach Resort & Spa at Frenchman's Reef and Morningstar Buoy Haus Beach at Frenchman's Reef, Autograph Collection.

Both hotels reopened last year after extensive revamp, offering a combined 486 guestrooms and suites, and an array of amenities.

Collectively, the resorts feature ten dining venues, around 85,000ft² of meeting space, and a Westin Heavenly Spa, among others.

Guests can also avail different dining experiences such as the Asian-inspired Sugarfin and the health-focused Shorebird juice bar.

The properties offer four resort pools, pickleball courts, a WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio, Heavenly Spa by Westin, a variety of fitness classes, a Westin FAMILY Kids Club, and boutique retail shopping.

Davidson Hospitality Group is an operator for several major hotel brands such as Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, Kimpton, and Nobu.

It currently has a portfolio of nearly 86 hotels and resorts, more than 200 restaurants, bars, and lounges, as well as more than two million square feet of meeting space in the US. 

Fortress Global Real Estate head Tom Pulley said: “We saw tremendous potential to rebuild and reimagine the properties of Frenchman's Reef, and after a truly transformational $400m renovation, we are excited to see these new resorts reestablish their place as an iconic and idyllic Caribbean escape. 

“We are confident that the Davidson Resorts team shares our uncompromising vision and approach to delivering an experience that discriminating travellers will cherish for many years to come." 

Davidson Hospitality Group CEO and president Thom Geshay said: “We are uniquely equipped to drive exceptional performance and create value for our partners while also delivering enriching guest experiences through the leadership of Davidson Resorts, which is comprised of some of the world's most respected and celebrated resort veterans that truly understand the nuances of managing complex resorts.”  

In February this year, Davidson Hospitality Group selected eTip as its digital tipping partner.
