Driftwood Hospitality Management (DHM) has completed a multimillion-dollar renovation of Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront, a 295-key hotel on Florida's Space Coast.  

The refurbishments were executed by Hospitality Project Advisors, a project management and consulting company from Palm Beach, Florida.  

Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront, located at 1550 N Atlantic Avenue, received updates across the property from DHM's expanding Lifestyle Division.  

The overhaul covered seven floors and more than 10,000ft² of meeting space. 

DHM founder and president David Buddemeyer said: “Our goal was to create a welcoming and immersive environment that captures the essence of coastal living.  

“Every aspect of the design, from the colour palette to the artwork, has been carefully curated to evoke a sense of relaxation and connection with the stunning beachfront setting. We are proud to be part of this community and are dedicated to creating a destination that both locals and visitors can enjoy for years to come.” 

The hotel's lobby has been transformed with a design inspired by the sandy hues and features ocean-inspired artwork.  

The guest rooms have also undergone a makeover, now sporting blue tones and surfing photography. Besides, new amenities and experiences were incorporated at the property. 

Beachfront dining venues Waves Craft Bar & Kitchen and Castaways Beach Bar were reimagined.  

These spaces now offer new menus with coastal cuisine and handcrafted cocktails.  

Additionally, the pool area has been redesigned to include fire pits and a surf-inspired lounge. 

Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront is 15 minutes away from Port Canaveral and Patrick Space Force Base, 25 minutes from the Kennedy Space Centre, and close to several eco-tourism activities. 

This development follows the July 2024 announcement of DHM taking on the management of Canopy by Hilton Downtown Louisville.
