The Hilton Naples Hotel Holiday Sand Sculpture

A story of a mythical holiday in Naples Florida has emerged in the lobby of Hilton Naples this week. Two master sculptors spent three days turning piles of sand into a magnificent seven foot tall crowd-wowing statement of art. The sculpture stands stand front and center in the lobby to greet guests of Hilton Naples and Shula’s Steak House.

Watch a time lapse video of the Hilton Naples Holiday Sand Sculpture being created by award-winning champion artists, Bouke Atema from Germany and Joris Kivits from Portugal.  Both artists are recently competed in the 26th Annual American Sand Sculpting Championship in Fort Myers Beach.

The sand creation features a mythical version of Santa Claus, a replica of Hilton Naples and many of the sea life creatures found in the waters off the beaches in Naples.

Hilton Naples Hotel invites the local community to stop by and witness the spectacular sculpture.  While taking in the beauty, enjoy the holiday signature libation, the Sand-tini. 
One dollar from every Sand-tini sold through December 14, 2012 will be donated to the Marine Corps League of Naples Toys for Tots Campaign.

Don't miss this opportunity to have unique holiday photos to share! Our hope is that both our hotel guests and our local community use our sand sculpture as a backdrop for their holiday photos and share the experience via facebook, twitter and other social media outlets.
