BAYSTAR HOTEL GROUP BREAKS GROUND ON HAMPTON INN & SUITES–LARGO TOWNE CENTRE

LARGO, FLA. (Jan. 18, 2005) — BayStar Hotel Group, LLC has broken ground on its five-story Hampton Inn & Suites–Largo Towne Centre. Located in downtown Largo at the intersection of East Bay Drive and Seminole Boulevard, the 92-room hotel is scheduled to open during the fourth quarter of 2005.

“There’s a lot going on in Largo with the new library, redevelopment along Clearwater-Largo Road, the downtown retail and residential renewal, and the natural amenity of the Largo Central Park. The presence of the Hampton will further establish its Towne Centre,” said George Glover, Chairman and CEO of BayStar Hotel Group, a Tampa-based hotel development and management company.

With traditional guest rooms and studio suites, the $7.5 million, 63,000-square-foot hotel will serve business and leisure guests. The new hotel will have 2,000 square feet of meeting space including two meeting rooms that can be combined to accommodate meetings of up to 100 in addition to a smaller board room. Room rates will range from $89 to $139, and like all BayStar Hotels, Largo’s Hampton Inn will welcome pets.
