Four Florida hotel projects, from Miami Beach to Clearwater, show active development across new builds, refurbishments, and planning stages

Florida’s hotel development pipeline continues to move forward across a range of markets and project types. Four projects currently underway illustrate this activity: Rosewood The Raleigh Miami Beach in Miami Beach; Hyatt Centric Downtown Sarasota (The Quay) in Sarasota; St. Regis Resort and Residences, Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale in Fort Lauderdale; and The Ballad Hotel in Clearwater.

These four projects represent just a small sample of the activity tracked in the THP database, which covers hotel developments across Florida and beyond in far greater depth. Hotel suppliers and industry professionals looking to identify opportunities tied to specific construction stages, regions, or timelines can access the full dataset for a more complete view of the pipeline.

What the Florida Data Shows

The THP database covers hotel development activity across Florida, the U.S., and other global markets, tracking details such as construction status, expected opening date, star rating, brand, room count, and project type. This depth gives suppliers and operators visibility into deals before they become public knowledge.

Projects still in planning, such as St. Regis Resort and Residences, Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale, give suppliers a window to connect with developers early, before contracts are finalized. Projects already under construction, like Rosewood The Raleigh Miami Beach and Hyatt Centric Downtown Sarasota, both targeting Q1 2028 openings, offer firmer timelines for planning outreach or finalizing supply agreements.

Access to the full THP database lets hotel suppliers and industry professionals filter Florida projects by construction stage, market, or opening timeline, building a clearer picture of where the state’s hotel pipeline is headed.

Please note: Information regarding project details—including but not limited to opening dates, room counts, and branding—for hotels under development can change as projects progress.
