Hotel trades Hulk Hogan for South Beach

TAMPA — Chicago-based Oxford Capital Group has completed the first phase of a multimillion-dollar transformation of the waterfront Bay Harbor Best Western hotel in Rocky Point into the Bay Harbor Hotel.

Phase one included 15 additional guestrooms with hardwood floors, custom contemporary furnishings, frameless glass-enclosed walk-in showers and backlit LED mirrors, according to a statement. New elements in the lobby include finishes and furnishings in Italian tile, coastal lounge furniture and nautical accents. And all the meeting and special event rooms have been outfitted with new fixtures, furniture and carpets, the release adds.

The Miami office of global interior design firm The Gettys Group worked with Oxford on the project, designed to bring some South Beach, coastal chic to the hotel.
