Florida has a way of turning almost any trip into something memorable. One visit might mean an early flight from Orlando, another could be a weekend exploring St. Petersburg, while the next is all about slowing down in the small-town charm of Mount Dora.

For travelers, having the right hotel can make those trips easier. Behind several well-positioned hotels across the state is Southern Hospitality and Management Company, a Florida hospitality company focused on hotel development, management and operations.

Southern Hospitality works with established brands including Marriott, Hilton and Choice Hotels, while providing services ranging from third-party operations and revenue management to sales, marketing, accounting, reputation management and asset management. The company describes its approach as being “brilliant in the basics of hospitality,” with an emphasis on teamwork, communication, innovation, leadership and resourcefulness.

For travelers, that experience can be found across a collection of hotels serving very different Florida destinations.

Start or Finish an Orlando Trip Near MCO

Orlando is one of Florida’s busiest travel hubs, and staying close to the airport can make a big difference when you have an early departure, late arrival or a few extra days in Central Florida.

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Orlando Airport is approximately 2.1 miles from Orlando International Airport and offers a complimentary airport shuttle and complimentary on-site parking.

This all-suite property is particularly appealing for extended stays. Accommodations include separate living and sleeping areas along with fully equipped kitchens, giving travelers more room and flexibility than a traditional hotel room. Guests can also enjoy complimentary hot breakfast, an outdoor pool and a fitness center.

The location works well beyond airport stays, too. Orlando’s theme parks and attractions are within reach, making the hotel a convenient home base for travelers who want airport accessibility without giving up access to the rest of Central Florida.

Experience St. Petersburg from a Convenient Home Base

Head west toward Florida’s Gulf Coast and Southern Hospitality and Management Company offers several choices in the St. Petersburg area.

For travelers who want comfortable accommodations with convenient access to the city, Fairfield Inn & Suites St. Petersburg North provides a practical starting point for exploring the area.

The hotel offers complimentary breakfast, Wi-Fi, on-site parking, an outdoor pool and a fitness center. It also features business and meeting facilities, giving the property flexibility for leisure and business travelers alike.

Whether your plans involve downtown St. Petersburg, a Gulf Coast getaway or simply finding a comfortable place to recharge between activities, the hotel puts guests in a convenient position for experiencing the area.

A Value-Conscious St. Petersburg Stay

Not every Florida getaway needs to come with a large hotel bill. Sometimes what matters most is finding a straightforward place to stay that keeps you close to where you want to go.

Quality Inn & Suites St. Petersburg gives value-conscious travelers another option within Southern Hospitality and Management Company’s St. Petersburg portfolio.

For road trips, quick weekend visits and travelers who plan to spend most of their time exploring the destination, a budget-friendly hotel can leave more room in the travel budget for dining, attractions and experiences around the Tampa Bay area.

Comfort and Convenience in Northeast St. Petersburg

Travelers looking for another St. Petersburg option can consider Comfort Inn & Suites Northeast – Gateway.

The hotel combines convenient accommodations with amenities that help simplify a trip, including free hot breakfast, Wi-Fi, an outdoor pool, fitness center and business center.

Its location also makes it an appealing choice for travelers whose plans extend beyond one part of the Tampa Bay area. Whether you’re visiting St. Petersburg for business, attractions or a Florida Gulf Coast getaway, it offers a comfortable place to return to at the end of the day.

Slow Down and Discover Mount Dora

Florida isn’t only about theme parks and beaches. Sometimes the best getaway is found in one of the state’s smaller communities.

Hampton Inn Mount Dora puts guests close to the character and attractions that make Mount Dora a favorite Central Florida escape.

The hotel is less than 10 minutes from attractions including Renninger’s Antique Center and the Modernism Museum, while downtown Mount Dora is approximately two miles away and Lake Dora is about five miles from the hotel.

Guests can start the morning with a complimentary hot breakfast before heading out to explore. Free Wi-Fi and parking, an outdoor pool and a fitness center are among the additional amenities available at the property.

It’s an easy choice for a relaxed weekend filled with antique shopping, local dining, lake views and time spent discovering a different side of Central Florida.

One Hospitality Company, Several Ways to Experience Florida

What makes Southern Hospitality and Management Company’s portfolio interesting is the variety.

An Orlando airport hotel can serve a business traveler, family vacation or extended stay. The St. Petersburg properties put guests within reach of one of Florida’s most popular Gulf Coast destinations while providing choices for different budgets and travel styles. Hampton Inn Mount Dora offers an entirely different experience, surrounded by the slower pace and character of one of Central Florida’s best-known small towns.

Behind those individual stays is a hospitality company focused on the fundamentals of operating and developing successful hotels.

Southern Hospitality and Management Company provides third-party operations, sales and marketing, finance and accounting management, revenue management, reputation management and asset management services. Its portfolio includes hotels associated with major hospitality brands, while the company continues to pursue growth in strong markets.

Whether your next Florida trip takes you through Orlando, across Tampa Bay or into the welcoming streets of Mount Dora, there may be a Southern Hospitality-managed hotel ready to become your home base.
