Colony Beach & Tennis Resort re-opening, hiring

Colony Beach & Tennis Resort will reopen its lodging Dec. 18 and hire 40 employees for various open positions.

The Longboat Key landmark is accepting reservations and offering special pricing on suites during the December holiday period, a release said.

Colony suspended its hotel operations about two months ago when it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization after a long financial dispute with condominium owners over payment for maintenance and operating expenses.

The resort’s reorganization plan is due in bankruptcy court Jan. 15.
