Daytona Beach, FL – The former Atlantic Resort Ocean Palm, located at 2323 South Atlantic Avenue in Daytona Beach, is now a Lexington Inn & Suites, part of Vantage Hospitality Group, the 10th largest hotel company in the world.

The beach front hotel has extensively renovated all of its 106 over-sized guest rooms that include beachfront rooms, large ocean-view family suites, and a choice of oceanfront or ocean-view efficiencies. All guest rooms come fully equipped with refrigerators, microwaves, coffee makers, and free WiFi and cable TV. Guests will enjoy the panoramic ocean views, complimentary full hot breakfast, an outdoor heated pool right on the ocean, and pet-friendly accommodations.

“We have replaced literally everything from the floor up,” said Bill Moore, the general manager of the Lexington Inn and Suites Daytona Beach. “From the carpeting, to the beds, the bathrooms, amenities, even every exterior balcony has been taken down and replaced. This hotel is located on a prime piece of real estate and it hasn’t lived up to its potential in the past. We plan to change that in a big way.”

Moore said the decision to rebrand to Lexington was based on the need for more freedom. “We knew what needed to be done to the hotel and we knew what amenities and services would benefit our guests most. Lexington gave us the freedom to move in that direction and the resources to see it to the end. We now have a hotel that we created – not one that was mandated to us. ”

“Bill is an excellent example of the type of Lexington member we seek,” said Bill Hanley, Group President of the Lexington Collection. “He is a very bright business man, knows his market niche inside and out, and has taken the resources and services we provide and used them to their full advantage. This Daytona Beach property is exquisite and we are thrilled to feature it in Lexington’s portfolio.”

Hanley expects Lexington to add at least 15 properties by the end of the year. The Lexington brands currently include 25 properties either in the system or under development throughout the United States and China. For more information, please visit or call 888-316-2378.
