The Cordova Inn will begin demolition on the adjacent Stanton Apartments and Stanton Hotel in the coming weeks, which will make way for an additional 63 rooms at the boutique hotel in downtown St. Petersburg.

Once complete the hotel will have 95 rooms and will total 53,700 square feet.

The expanded hotel, which was designed by Place Architecture to honor the exterior look of the historic hotel, will feature a rooftop bar and a restaurant.

The expansion is expected to be complete in the summer of 2023.
