Residence Inn Tampa Wesley Chapel Now Open

New 128-room hotel off and running at state-of-the-art sports campus

 

TAMPA, Fla. (Dec. 28, 2021) – After a final sprint to the finish, the highly anticipated Residence Inn Tampa Wesley Chapel (2867 Lajuana Boulevard, Wesley Chapel, Florida) is officially open at the Wiregrass Ranch Sports Campus of Pasco County. The team behind the new four-story, 128-room hotel gathered earlier this month to “break the tape” during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Overlooking the 98,000-square-foot AdventHealth Sports Arena, the hotel is an easy favorite for visiting teams, locals and travelers to experience a winning new era in sports tourism at the state-of-the-art campus.

 

“Sitting just a few steps from the front doors of one of Pasco County’s world-class venues makes us the best option for anyone visiting the area to enjoy a wide variety of sporting events at Wiregrass Ranch Sports Campus,” said Craig Barnett, general manager. “But thanks to the excellent design team, this hotel is also ideal for business and other leisure travelers looking for suites that offer the comforts of home with amenities to cover every need.”

 

The hotel’s spacious guest rooms and suites feature fully equipped kitchens, separate living and sleep areas, large bathrooms and plush bedding. Along with the in-room conveniences, guests can enjoy complimentary hot breakfast, high-speed wireless internet, laundry facilities, outdoor heated pool, fitness center, 24/7 grab & go market, complimentary grocery delivery service, and Zybra bicycle rentals.

 

Additional amenities include flexible indoor meeting and event space, an outdoor terrace shared social space, and Skybox Rooftop Bar offering a selection of beer, wine, spirits and an unbeatable view of the surrounding sports complex and wetlands. A food menu featuring appetizers, salads, wraps and more will be available beginning the second week of January.  Skybox Rooftop Bar is open to guests and locals Sunday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.; and Saturday from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m beginning Wednesday, Dec. 29.

 

The all-star team behind the development of the hotel includes BRPH, which led the interior design team with a focus on creating spacious suites; David Nelson Construction Co., the hotel’s primary construction group; and Development Ventures Group, Inc., a partner on the project. The property is locally owned and operated by Mainsail Lodging & Development, a Tampa, Florida-based company specializing in hotel, corporate furnished housing, and resort property management and development, marketing and sales.

 

The hotel is located just 10 minutes west of I-75 and half an hour from Tampa International Airport. It is also convenient to The Shops at Wiregrass, an open-air lifestyle center featuring more than 100 shops, restaurants and services.
