Daytona Beach, Summit Hospitality
Management Group has invested more
than $100 million in local redevelopment,
which does not include projects still on
the books. In addition to investing locally,
the company also hires locally whenever
possible. For the Hard Rock project alone,
more than 200 tradesmen and contractors
and 100-plus professional service outlets
– almost exclusively from Volusia County
– were employed by Summit. To date,
Summit has redeveloped more than 900
guest rooms within Volusia County. The

According to Abbas, each of the
hotel’s guest rooms and suites radiates a
contemporary style ranging from deluxe
to Rock Royalty ® options, including
Hard Rock’s signature The Sound of
Your Stay™ music amenity program
allowing guests to set the mood with
complimentary vinyl records or jam out
on a Fender guitar in the privacy of their
own room. The hotel also features the
signature Sessions restaurant, third-floor
Wave Terrace for cocktails and live music,
and Constant Grind offering hot and
cold drinks, quick bites and more in a
café setting. The full-service Rock Spa ®
& Salon, Body Rock ® Fitness Center, Hard Rock Roxity Youth
Club™ and Rock Shop ® complete the overall resort experience.
Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach also adds to the area’s appeal
as a meeting destination, with 20,000 square feet of adaptable
space ranging from elegant to edgy. Indoors, the hotel’s event
space can accommodate up to 590 guests, while an expansive
oceanfront terrace and private courtyard provide endless outdoor
opportunities for special events and meetings.
“Summit is committed to providing exceptional environments
for our employees, guests and neighbors to enjoy,” said
Abbas. “We will continue to identify ‘potentials’ and to grow
in a thoughtful way that’s beneficial and meaningful to the
community.”
