The Tideline Ocean Resort and Spa in Palm Beach closed Monday for $20 million in renovations, the hotel’s owner said Wednesday.

Although the hotel, which is part of the Marriott brand, indicates via its website’s reservation search engine that guest check-ins aren’t available until Jan. 1, Tideline should reopen much sooner, said its owner, Palm Beach billionaire real estate investor Jeff Greene.

An “October grand reopening” is planned, said Greene, who has owned the oceanfront South Ocean Boulevard hotel since April 2011, when it was known as The Omphoy. He paid a reported $42 million for it.

Renovation work at Tideline is set to include the installation of new flooring, cabinetry and furniture in the hotel's 135 rooms, and replacement of the hotel’s air-conditioning system, Greene said. Tideline’s two restaurants: Brandon’s, which serves “coastal cuisine,” and Mizu, a sushi bar concept, also are targeted for renovations.

Calls to Tideline Ocean Resort currently are being forwarded to Fairfield Inn & Suites in Jupiter, another hotel property owned by Greene.

Greene’s other area hotel holdings have included Ramada by Wyndham on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard in West Palm Beach and a Marriott hotel property in Boynton Beach.

Tideline currently is managed by Raleigh, N.C.-based Concord Hotels, which is among a series of hotel-management companies that have been associated with Tideline over the years, including Dream Hotels, Kimpton Hotels and GF Hotels.

Greene's net worth is estimated at $7.5 billion, according to the most recent data by Forbes.com, which notes his fortune is held in real estate in Los Angeles and South Florida, plus equities and other investments.

After Greene purchased the former Omphoy, he renamed it Tideline Ocean Resort & Spa in 2014 and expanded its spa.
