New Staybridge Hotel planned for St Petersburg-Clearwater Airport

A $13.2 million, 106-room Staybridge Suites Hotel is planned for the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport. The hotel will offer three suite types with fully equipped kitchens, work areas and high-speed Internet access and the accommodation is ideal for both short and long stay travellers.

American Hotel Development Partners LLC have over 130 Staybridge Suites Hotels in America and say completion is scheduled to start in August for a late 2009 completion.

The hotel at PIE is part of the airport's $10 million renovation project and on the heels of it's recent announcement of a $1.5 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration for safety, security and other projects.
