Northwood Investors Acquires The Cheeca Lodge & Spa

The Cheeca Lodge & Spa is the premier luxury resort in the Florida Keys, located in Islamorada, less than 90 minutes from Miami. The resort is known for its lush vegetation, spectacular water views, peaceful atmosphere, oversized rooms, world class fishing and first-class service. The property was completely renovated in the past few years, adding waterview suites, new dining venues and upgraded meeting space. The Lodge retains its famous luxurious spa, two fresh and one salt water pools, six tennis courts, a Jack Nicklaus 9 hole par 3 golf course and the Presidential Suite.

"This acquisition demonstrates our commitment to high quality hotels and our ability to transact quickly and efficiently. We look forward to building upon Cheeca's legacy as a premier destination," said Jonathan Wang, Managing Director, Northwood Investors.

Herbert Spiegel, General Manager of Cheeca Lodge & Spa, has been associated with the property for over 15 years, and stated, "I love this place so much I was married here. We look forward to continuing our commitment to the Florida Keys community and all of our neighbors. We would also like to welcome back all of our past guests to see what we have accomplished here."
