Constructed in 1926 and touted by the press as the aristocrat of Florida Hotels, the Fort Harrison was in need of attention when Nova began its historic restoration. Following a complete demolition of the 12-story 213-room facility, meticulous efforts were made to preserve the integrity of the original design elements while retro-fitting it with state-of-the-art modern mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Nova sourced all of the Italian mahogany millwork, lighting, art, and custom carpets. The renovated facility features a three-story marble lobby, four restaurants, equipped with stainless steel commercial kitchens, 18,000 square feet of function space, as well as, three luxury guest suites. The entire project was completed within an expedited nine-month timeframe.
