“We are pleased with the continued growth of Residence Inn to the Tierra Verde area,” said Diane Mayer, vice president, and global brand manager, Residence Inn at Marriott International. “When on the road for an extended period, our guests need space to spread out, maintain their life’s pace and restore their energy to keep a healthy balance and routine while traveling.

Residence Inn properties are designed as all-suite hotels that offer studio, one- and two-bedroom suites. Guests looking for a revitalizing sleep experience will enjoy the hotel’s plush mattresses and crisp linens, while guests focused on being productive will value their suite’s large, well-lit work desk, ergonomic chair, and complimentary high-speed Internet access. Designed for stays of five nights or more, each suite also has a fully-equipped kitchen with a coffeemaker, microwave oven, and residential-sized appliances.
Residence Inn has created a decor with a “home plus” feel that is warm, optimistic and flexible. The longer-stay guest will experience a livable, uplifting environment based on honest materials, organic forms, warm colors, and natural light. The new design incorporates a transitional inviting style, crisp details, and signature residential textiles.
The Residence Inn St. Petersburg Tierra Verde rotates a wide selection of healthy choices for its free hot breakfast every day. Guests can start with favorites like bacon and eggs, Greek yogurt, cut fruit or waffles, and personalize it with extensive toppings, ranging from fresh spinach and cheese to sliced almonds and strawberries.
