The Naples City Council has given the green light for the construction of a dual-brand hotel close to the downtown area. The decision was made during a council meeting held on Wednesday, following discussions regarding the project’s potential impact on the surrounding neighborhood and local businesses.
The approved development will feature two hotel brands within a single building, offering a total of 150 rooms. The site is located at 1100 Tamiami Trail North, situated just north of the city’s downtown district. The project is being developed by Naples Hotel Group, which specializes in hotel management and development across Florida and the southeastern United States.
During the meeting, city officials and residents voiced a range of opinions about the project. Some expressed concerns about increased traffic and the hotel’s compatibility with the character of the neighborhood. Others highlighted the potential economic benefits, including increased tourism and job creation.
City staff recommended approval of the hotel, citing its alignment with the city’s comprehensive plan and its proximity to commercial corridors. The council ultimately voted 4-3 in favor of the project, allowing it to move forward to the next phase of planning and permitting.
According to the developer, the dual-brand concept will cater to both short-term and extended-stay guests, providing a mix of amenities such as meeting rooms, a fitness center, and a rooftop pool. Construction is expected to begin later this year, with an anticipated opening date in late 2025.
