FEATHER SOUND — Shuttered shortly after its grand opening because of the pandemic, the Karol Hotel is opening once again.
The 123-room boutique hotel opened in February, just a month before the pandemic nearly halted the region’s tourism altogether. At that time, the Karol decided to close. It will reopen to guests Nov. 11.
“Our team has been working tirelessly to put new health measures in place, and we’re thrilled for guests to come and safely experience this magnificent new hotel,” Adam Duffey, the hotel’s general manager, said in a statement.
The Karol, located at 2675 Ulmerton Road, is part of the Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio. Developer Fred Bullard named the hotel for his wife, Karol Bullard. The hotel has special reopening room rates beginning at $114 per night.
As part of the reopening, the hotel is running a one-month room rate special that includes a $25 credit to the hotel’s food and beverages. That includes its Vantage Rooftop Bar, which was still under construction when the hotel opened in February.
Guests and locals can see the Tampa skyline from the bar and enjoy menu items like charcuterie boards, pimento cheese and shucked oysters.
Like other hotels, the Karol expects a stream of staycationers to enjoy a pandemic getaway in their own backyard.
For the past few months, the Tampa Bay hotels have averaged around 50 percent occupancy rates.
