Ocean Walk Village in Daytona Beach, FL
Dubbed a “District within a Destination”, Daytona Beach’s fabulous Ocean Walk Village occupies about 6 square blocks near the part of the beach where no vehicle traffic is allowed. It cost about a billion dollars to build this new entertainment and meeting complex, which currently consists of two lodging options – the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort and the Wyndham Ocean Walk Vacation Condominium Rentals – as well as a bevy of shops and the Ocean Center, which is a venue for sporting events, concerts, or meetings of various sizes. In all, the village offers about 1,400 guest rooms and some 300,000 square feet of meeting space.
