Last week they had a convention with plenty of CEOs from large companies and Governor Bush.
You can walk from the Registry to the Museum next to the Phil...

I stayed there last August. To my knowledge, it's recently had a makeover.
Bedrooms are great (try to get a gulfview) with nice toiletries in the very plush bathrooms. Staff pretty good, wonderful beach (extra charge for sunloungers on beach and towels around pool). The pool can get pretty noisy with kids (there's a waterslide) and the breakfast/coffee bar is expensive and I wasn't impressed by the food (like a bad version of Starbucks).
We ate at the Aqua grill in the adjacent shopping mall (trendy, good service, so-so food). The hotel itself is about 5-10 mins taxi away from all the action on 5th (I can recommend Campiello's restaurant down there, but I've heard bad things about Tommy Bahama's).
Enjoy your stay

My bedroom was great - beautiful, large, comfortable, quiet, good turndown service, balcony big enough to sit on & enjoy the gulf view. I think they claim all rooms have gulf view, but this is not a gulf-front hotel. Meeting rooms met our needs well. Congenial, efficient staff. "Cocomango" toiletries were good and contribute to the subtropical ambience. There's a quiet pool with lap lanes near the tennis complex.
Tram ride or nice walk on elevated boardwalk through mangroves to the public beach. No charge for chairs or towels for hotel guests - other than the $10 daily "resort fee". I didn't watch the sunset from this beach, but it was gorgeous from near the Naples Pier.
Food is terribly overpriced, but I grew up on the redneck part of the gulf coast so I was happier with the fried seafood at Grouper & Chips. There are several chain restaurants a short drive from the hotel.
