The hotel marks the second Cambria Suites flag in the state and the next step in the brand’s continued push into more urban markets like New York City, Washington, D.C. and Miami. The other Florida location is situated near the Fort Lauderdale International Airport.

The suites will be larger than standard hotel rooms and offer free high-speed internet access. The hotel will also feature the casual dining restaurant, fitness center and 24/7 convenience store featured in all Cambria Suites properties. — Adam Fusfeld
