New renderings offer a more detailed and colorful look at a new boutique hotel planned for Madeira Beach.

Local developer Bill Karns, who is also leading the Madeira Beach Town Center project, has partnered with Marcus Winters, owner of Caddy’s, to propose an 87-key hotel across from John’s Pass Village and Boardwalk.

The project is planned for the southeastern corner of 129th Avenue East and Pelican Lane on a 1.5-acre parcel owned by Karns that is currently being used as a 180-space surface parking lot.

The hotel would operate under Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio, a collection of independent boutique properties designed to reflect the character and history of their surroundings.

Working with the city’s planning department, Karns and St. Petersburg-based Place Architecture revised the original design, which was announced by St. Pete Rising last July, and presented updated plans at a neighborhood meeting last November.

The initial concept called for a white, modern building with columns. The revised plan has a more traditional “fishing village” aesthetic, featuring colorful exterior paint and paneling similar to the storefronts and restaurants along the John’s Pass boardwalk.

A new boutique hotel is in the works for Madeira Beach’s John’s Pass Village, offering visitors a new place to stay in the heart of the popular waterfront shopping and dining destination.

Prominent developer Bill Karns, who is also leading the Madeira Beach Town Center project, and Marcus Winters, owner of Caddy’s Restaurant Group, are proposing an 87-key Marriott Tribute hotel directly across from the iconic John’s Pass boardwalk.

The site, located on the southwest corner of 129th Avenue East and Pelican Lane, is owned by Karns and is currently being used as a 180-space surface parking lot.

The proposed six-story hotel will be a “condo-hotel,” a hybrid model that blends hotel and condominium features. Individual units will be available both for purchase and for nightly rentals.
