Florida’s thriving tourism industry, year-round warm climate and diverse coastal cities make it one of the most competitive and attractive markets for hospitality property development in the United States. From luxury resorts in Miami and Palm Beach to lifestyle hotels in Orlando and boutique beachfront properties along the Gulf Coast, developers are capitalising on the state’s strong visitor demand and population growth. Hospitality developers in Florida are delivering a wide range of assets – from high-end branded resorts and mixed-use destinations to short-term rental-friendly accommodations. Many projects integrate retail, spa and entertainment components, reflecting a broader trend towards experiential, amenity-rich hospitality design.
