Hotel Effie’s Next Era: Love, Luxury, and a Little Taylor-Inspired Sparkle
When Taylor Swift teased her latest album and signed off with “See you in the next era,” fans everywhere lit up the internet with glitter, color palettes, and pure anticipation. At Hotel Effie Sandestin, we know exactly what that feels like, because we’re stepping boldly into our own new era, one filled with elevated experiences, fresh leadership, and exciting reasons to fall in love with the Emerald Coast all over again.
What’s New at Hotel Effie
Proudly Part of the Marriott Autograph Collection
Our transformation into a Marriott Autograph Collection property last year marks a defining chapter for Hotel Effie. This affiliation connects us with a global network of travelers who appreciate distinctive style, elevated service, and a sense of place that’s truly one-of-a-kind. It’s still the soul of Effie you know and love, just with a bigger stage to share it on.
A New Face at the Helm
Leading us into this era is our General Manager, Jennifer Lombard Knight. With nearly two decades of global luxury hospitality experience, Jennifer’s leadership blends decisive strategy with heartfelt Southern hospitality. Her focus? Expanding our offerings, elevating service, and making every guest feel like part of the Effie family.
