Soon, you’ll be able to take a bougie staycation right in the heart of Hyde Park Village.

Palihouse Hyde Park Village, the posh area’s first hotel, promises “a 36-guest room hideaway cloaked in European-inspired style with a considerable dose of Palisociety’s signature irreverent design,” according to a release. The hotel will open later this fall at 1509 W. Swann Ave. — nestled in between shops Mizzen + Main and Social Status.

The boutique hotel is the brainchild of Avi Brosh’s Palisociety, and is in partnership with the Village’s owner, WS Development.

“Hyde Park is noted as the most revered destination neighborhood in Tampa and with Hyde Park Village’s innate charm and sense of style, we knew it was a natural fit for a Palihouse hotel,” said Avi Brosh, founder and CEO of Palisociety, in a release. “We particularly covet finding unexpected properties in communities where we can create a unique and creative new aesthetic and vision for the area that feels like a natural extension of its existing appeal.”

The property will feature guest rooms complete with luxe details like Smeg mini fridges, Diptyque bath products, Bellino fine linens, Nespresso coffee machines, and bespoke library seating. Plus, the plans also include a vibey lobby lounge — with a café and bar serving all-day dining menu options, coffee, cocktails, and brews.

Palisociety hopes to create an environment “that honors Florida’s colorful and warm personality with a charming dose of European-influenced style and sensibility,” according to the release.
