Innisfree Hotels Launches Two Exciting Projects to Secure Pensacola's Economic Future

Innisfree Hotels has officially kicked off the construction of two significant projects designed to bolster the economy and community spirit of Pensacola, Florida. The groundbreaking ceremonies recently held marked the beginning of construction for the new Hampton Inn by Hilton and the Hive Arts Academy, both of which aim to provide lasting benefits to the local community.

The new Hampton Inn by Hilton will be located on Pensacola Beach at 20 Via De Luna Dr., adding to Innisfree's impressive portfolio on the beachside. With an expected 2028 opening, this hotel will introduce the region's very first hotel waterslides and will drastically enhance the appeal of Pensacola Beach as a family-oriented destination, which is already rated the #1 beach in the United States by Condé Nast Traveler readers. The facility will feature:

- 215 rooms that cater to family needs and enhance comfort
- A zero-entry lazy river designed for relaxation and fun
- A two-level poolside bar and restaurant, perfect for dining with a view
- Over 4,000 square feet of versatile meeting space for events
- A generous breakfast area for guests to start their days with ease
- Direct access to the stunning beach, ensuring visitors enjoy all Pensacola has to offer.

Crucially, this project is expected to create approximately 150 new jobs, supporting the local workforce and contributing to both economic stability and growth. Ted Ent, President and CEO of Innisfree Hotels, emphasized that
