A New Era for Residence Inn Tampa Westshore/Airport
The Residence Inn Tampa Westshore/Airport has recently completed an impressive multi-million-dollar renovation that seeks to elevate the guest experience for both business and leisure travelers. This complete transformation includes substantial upgrades to the entire property, which consists of 160 suites, redefined public areas, refreshed meeting venues, and even the addition of an outdoor game lawn.
Situated conveniently near the Tampa International Airport and amidst a growing business and entertainment district, this hotel is designed to be the ideal base for those visiting Tampa. Completed in December 2024, the renovation reflects the vibrancy and potential of the surrounding Westshore area, characterized by a blend of work, leisure, and development.
According to Jake Shade, the General Manager of Residence Inn Tampa Westshore/Airport, the renovation symbolizes an exciting new chapter for the property. He stated, "With its fresh, modern design and upgraded amenities, the property reinforces its ongoing commitment to exceptional service and guest comfort—offering welcoming spaces that foster connection, productivity, and relaxation."
Design Philosophy
The new design integrates Residence Inn's Neuhaus style and embodies a coastal theme inspired by Florida's natural beauty. Interiors now showcase lighter woods, soothing colors, and subtle accents that create a tranquil and inviting ambience. This fresh decor incorporates decorative lighting and indoor greenery which add warmth and liveliness throughout the space.
An interesting feature of the renovation is the conversion of the former sports court into a vibrant activity lawn. This area will host eclectic games like cornhole, mini-golf, and giant Jenga, encouraging casual interaction among guests while providing opportunities for relaxation and fun.
Suite and Amenities Upgrades
Each suite is designed to provide a residential-style atmosphere with amenities that cater to longer stays. The accommodations include fully equipped kitchenettes featuring a full-size refrigerator, microwave, and stovetop, perfect for families or groups traveling together.
To help guests start their day on a high note, the hotel offers a complimentary continental breakfast buffet from Monday through Friday and on weekends. Breakfast selections include popular options such as coffee, yogurt, oatmeal, waffles, toasted bread, fruit, and more.
For those traveling for business, the hotel provides 670 square feet of adaptable event space, which can accommodate executive meetings, team-building activities, or client presentations. These spaces come equipped with modern technology and can host groups of up to 30 people. Moreover, the hotel’s poolside and outdoor areas are available for larger corporate events and social gatherings.
As part of the Residence Inn by Marriott brand, this property continues its legacy of delivering flexible, apartment-style accommodations that help longer stays feel like home.
