Hotel Proposed for Palm Beach County Airport

Palm Beach Airport Hotel
Travelers could soon have more options at Palm Beach International Airport.  The Department of Airports just opened the door to the possibility of constructing a hotel on the grounds of the airport.  Right now there is a request for proposals from any developers interested in pursuing such a project.
 
The ten acres of land currently belongs to Palm Beach County but is vacant.  Located to the west of Belvedere Road and Australian Avenue, it’s expected that a hotel in that location could offer relief to travelers, primarily business travelers who need somewhere to stay.

Only nationally recognized hotel chains will be considered and it must be at least an upper-midscale hotel.  Because the property is so large it’s expected that restaurants or shops could also be built on the same piece of land.  Any hotel constructed at the site would be located directly across from an airport travel plaza, too, opening in May of 2016.  That plaza is expected to house a convenience store, gas station, a fast food restaurant and even a cell phone lot for those waiting for airport passengers.

All proposals from developers must be turned in by March 21, 2016.  However, the airport operator is planning to meet with those interested developers in late January to go over the application process and all of the required documents.

While no decisions will be made for months to come, a new hotel would mean positive news for the tourism economy in Palm Beach County, already posed to top more than 17,000 hotel rooms by the start of 2016.
