The new building, which broke ground in April 2023 next to the existing hotel, will increase the number of available rooms from 32 to 97 with VIP luxury suites on the top floor offering panoramic views of downtown.

Historic boutique hotel Cordova Inn breaks ground on expansion in downtown St. Pete

A year and a half after being announced, the Cordova Inn’s planned expansion has broken ground. 

The owners of the historic boutique hotel, New Hotel Collection and TDZ Capital Partners, held a ceremonial groundbreaking this morning at the hotel, which is located at 253 2nd Avenue North in downtown St. Pete.

The five-story expansion will more than triple the number of available rooms from 32 to 97 while also adding a restaurant to the first floor and a 5th-floor rooftop bar.

Between the old and new wings will be a lushly landscaped mid-block courtyard. Both the courtyard and porch will be open to anyone, whether they are staying in the hotel or not. The addition will also expand the front porch of the Cordova Inn into a dramatic wraparound balcony with lush streetscaping.
