ARLINGTON, VA And TAMPA, FL Oct. 28, 2011 - Interstate Hotels & Resorts, the United States’ largest independent hotel management company, today announced that it has acquired the 265-room Crowne Plaza Tampa East in Florida through a joint venture with Waramaug Hospitality, LLC and a private investment group. Interstate assumed management of the hotel upon completion of the acquisition, and the hotel will immediately undergo a comprehensive $8.5 million renovation.
“It is extremely gratifying to earn new business from existing partners, and we are thrilled to have this opportunity to work with them again,” said Thomas F.

“The Crowne Plaza Tampa East represents a compelling investment opportunity, and we fully expect to deliver superior results,” said Jim Abrahamson (lower left photo), Interstate’s president and COO. “The hotel’s location, adjacent to a thriving business park and close to a number of leisure demand generators, greatly enhance the long-term potential of this investment.”
Located at 10221 Princess Palm Avenue, across the street from Sabal Business Park, one of Tampa’s most attractive office markets, the Crowne Plaza is the only full service hotel with a significant amount of meeting space in the area. Hotel amenities include a restaurant, outdoor swimming pool, business center, recreation and sports court, as well as 30,000 square feet of flexible meeting space.
“Based on the performance of our initial joint venture transaction with Interstate, we have the utmost confidence in their continued ability to deliver superior operating and investment results,” said Paul Nussbaum, Waramaug’s chief executive officer. “We expect to undertake a major $8.5 million renovation of this hotel, which will position the property ideally to take full advantage of an improving local economy.”
