Gulf Breeze Hotel Closes After 37-Year Venice Era
Venice's Gulf Breeze Hotel ends its long run after 37 years. Furnishings go on public sale as owners George and Stephanie Zicheck wind down operations. The landmark, opened in 1927 as Parkview and later The Pines, housed guests, weddings, and events in its Venetian Room and patio. Susie the hotel dog lingers as the building awaits its fate. The future may restore, repurpose, or demolish the three story landmark on West Venice Avenue.
