Hotel Floridan’s transformation, costing $30 million, is almost done, and its new name reflects a nod to its historical roots

Located in Tampa, Florida, the Floridan Hotel, formerly the tallest building in the state, is currently undergoing an extensive $30 million renovation and will soon be rebranded.

Originally constructed in 1926, the Floridan Palace Hotel was a lavish New York-style hotel that graced Tampa. However, it gradually fell out of favor due to the economic challenges brought on by the Great Depression and subsequent years.
