Remington Hospitality, a dynamic hotel management company providing genuine hospitality and expertise in property management, announced today the 100th anniversary of La Concha Key West, Autograph Collection, a landmark asset on Duval Street that has recently completed a comprehensive renovation and repositioning. The centennial milestone underscores the hotel’s enduring relevance and Remington’s focus on preserving historic assets while enhancing long-term performance and value for ownership.
Opened on January 22, 1926, La Concha has welcomed presidents, literary icons, entertainers, and travelers from around the world, earning its enduring reputation as the “Grand Dame of Key West.” Under Remington’s management, the property has undergone an extensive renovation designed to elevate the guest experience, modernize infrastructure, and align the hotel with Marriott’s Autograph Collection standards—while maintaining the architectural integrity, 1920s glamour, and brand equity that define the asset. The renovation encompassed guest rooms, public spaces, and food-and-beverage venues.
The hotel officially marked its 100th anniversary with a celebratory event bringing together community partners, hotel guests, and employees to toast a century of memories and milestones. The celebration reflected La Concha’s deep ties to Key West and set the tone for a year filled with commemorative moments, including a time capsule ceremony, remarks from hotel leadership, the resort’s traditional “Conch Call” signifying happy hour, cocktail demonstrations, and more.
“Reaching 100 years is a testament to the strength of this asset and the importance of thoughtful stewardship,” said Ben Perelmuter, Chief Executive Officer, Remington Hospitality. “La Concha is a rare property with deep historical significance and irreplaceable location fundamentals. With the renovation complete, our focus is on disciplined execution—driving revenue performance, managing costs, and ensuring the hotel is well positioned to deliver consistent returns and long-term value for ownership.”
In conjunction with the centennial, the property has launched a year-long series of activations that reinforce its positioning within the Key West market while strengthening ties to the local community. As part of this initiative, La Concha has established a philanthropic partnership with Reef Relief, a Key West–based nonprofit dedicated to coral reef conservation, aligning the hotel’s brand with environmental stewardship and community engagement.
La Concha Key West’s centennial celebration reflects Remington Hospitality’s broader approach to managing iconic and complex assets—balancing brand standards, historical preservation, and commercial performance in high-barrier-to-entry markets.
