“The entire Aimbridge team is extremely excited about this new addition to our portfolio,” said Dave Johnson, chief executive officer and chairman of Aimbridge Hospitality. “I know we have one or two Parrotheads on our team, but we are all looking forward to managing this prestigious brand and bringing the Jimmy Buffet experience to all guests of the resort.”

Food and beverage concepts will include JWB Prime Steak and Seafood; Horizons, a rooftop eatery; the Landshark Bar & Grill; the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill; The Lone Palm Beach Bar; the Floridays Airstream Cafe and the Margaritaville Coffee Shop.
