Mainsail Suites Hotel & Conference Center Tampa
We will change the way you think of a hotel forever...
Mainsail Management Group Inc was formed in 1998 and in 1999 it opened its first lodging complex. The Mainsail Suites Hotel and Conference Center situated in a prime location within 5 minutes of The Tampa International Airport was developed as a private training center for Price Waterhouse under a master lease. Trainees traveled from around the world to attend multi week high tech training courses at the facility. This luxury property now operates as a full service and extended stay 360 suite hotel with a host of business and recreational facilities.
In 2002 Mainsail began to acquire Marriott Execustay franchises in the Southeast. The most recent acquisition in January 2008 of the East Coast territory of Florida now gives Mainsail the entire Florida market, Atlanta, Raleigh, and Charlotte metro areas. Operating under the Marriott Execustay brand, Mainsail procures, furnishes and manages luxury apartments under leases to corporate, government and leisure clients that require temporary housing. Mainsail most recently purchased and completely renovated a 320 unit apartment complex in the highly desirable South Tampa area. This property is branded as Mainsail South.
In addition to corporate and contract housing, Mainsail is focusing on high end luxury opportunites. In the summer of 2009 Mainsail will open and operate a $110 million boutique resort in the British Virgin Islands. The Scrub Island Resort Spa and Marina will feature 5 star amenities, spa, restaurants, conference space astronomical observatory and a world class yachting marina. This exciting project is made up entirely of luxury villas surrounding the marina, across the hilltops and above the pristine beaches of this private island.
Mainsail Suites Hotel & Conference Center has also began construction this month on a conference center aimed at attracting large training conferences, weddings and special events. The $11 million center will have the latest in technology, 8,000 square feet of meeting space and a 6,000-square-foot patio. The patio will be next to the center's ballroom and will overlook a pond - with a spewing fountain designed to catch the eye of motorists passing by on Hillsborough Avenue. The center, expected to be completed by September 2009, will be able to accommodate about 350 for a conference and about 500 for a wedding or banquet.
