The hotel’s seventh-floor lobby serves as a striking centerpiece, offering panoramic vistas of the Gulf of Mexico through floor-to-ceiling windows. Designed to maximize the natural beauty of its surroundings, the lobby envelops guests in a serene ambiance, combining warm sunset-inspired hues, sculptural whitewashed wood reception desks, brass accents, and a seashell-inspired glass chandelier. These bespoke elements reflect the tranquil elegance of the shoreline, creating a welcoming atmosphere.
Adjacent spaces, including the Ocean Seven Restaurant and the Sunset Lounge & Bar, further this narrative, incorporating coral-inspired banquettes, gradient glass screens, and arched brass detailing reminiscent of ocean waves. The rooftop pool and Sielo Pool Bar enhance the hotel’s seamless connection to nature, blending indoor and outdoor spaces to offer a tranquil retreat.
A striking 10-story hand-painted mural adorns the building, acting as a landmark and artistic representation of the hotel’s identity. The rooftop, which includes the lobby, restaurant, and pool, strategically maximizes Gulf views, creating a singular guest experience that captures the essence of “Hiatus.”
Through thoughtful integration of design, art, and functionality, The Hiatus Clearwater Beach, under LBA Hospitality’s stewardship, offers an immersive escape. It redefines boutique hospitality by providing a rejuvenating retreat that celebrates the beauty and charm of Clearwater Beach.
