Sight Inspection at The Luminary Hotel & Co, Autograph Collection in Fort Myers

Curator’s statement
In August of 2024, I visited the Luminary Hotel & Co in the River District of beautiful Fort Myers, Florida. As a fifth-generation Fort Myers native, I loved the authentic touches around the property that paid homage to "old" Fort Myers. From the beautiful black-and-white vintage photographs of Fort Myers, to the industrial decor that recalls two of Fort Myers' most famous residents, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, to the warm and welcoming staff, this property does "The City of Palms" proud.

This property is situated close to U.S. 41 in downtown Fort Myers, overlooking the beautiful Caloosahatchee, a Gulf-access waterway. This property would be an ideal event space for a wedding or corporate event. It is ideal for visitors who want to see more of the city but still want to be a half-hour drive from the famous beaches. The restaurants on site are a delight. Highly recommend the Silver King Ocean Brasserie. The scallops and the New York strip were perfection, and the Avocado lobster salad with fresh funnel cake is a delight.

This would be a great girls getaway spot, a wonderful place for a romantic getaway, and an ideal event space for corporate or for celebrations.
