Newport, Kentucky, located just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, will be getting an all-new $120 million Margaritaville Resort in 2026 as part of the region’s Newport on the Levee development area.
According to local news outlet Fox19, the 264-room hotel will be located near the Newport Aquarium. It will add about 200 new jobs to the area. Features include three Margaritaville-branded restaurants, a rooftop pool and bar area with the brand’s signature “5 O’Clock Somewhere” bar and a 2,000-square-foot event center with views of the Ohio River and Cincinnati.
The new development was approved by Newport City Commissioners on April 25. Construction is expected to begin next year.
City Manager Thomas J. Fromme said the new Margaritaville property is “one of the final pieces of the Newport on the Levee puzzle. The hotel was long planned for Newport on the Levee from day one. There was one in the works back around 2008 and due to the economic downturn that went belly up for lack of a better term. This is really an exciting day for the Levee, the city of Newport and the entire Greater Cincinnati region.”
