Miami-based hospitality and tourism agency Diamond Public Relations has been named agency of record for Bahamian resort French Leave.
The forthcoming resort, located on a 270-acre site in Governor’s Harbour on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera, initially opened in December 2014 as a four-cottage boutique hotel. Representing the first construction of seafront cottages in that capital city since the 1940s, the French Leave Resort is now slated to expand to a dozen villas by the end of the year, and will grow to 20 by 2017. The property is managed by hospitality owner/operator company Shaner Hotels and will be launched as a part of the Marriott Autograph Collection.
Diamond will manage North American PR efforts for French Leave in a bid to increase national and regional awareness of the resort.
Diamond, which manages PR efforts for more than two-dozen resorts in the U.S., Caribbean, Central/South America and Europe, was also recently named AOR for forthcoming Miami Beach hotel The Julia and Key West-based hotel NYAH.
