Hotel Haya Ribbon Cutting

| Jo-Lynn Brown

Hotel Haya held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening in Ybor City. Tampa City Mayor Jane Castor was in attendance, alongside hotel representatives.

Hotel Haya is the first of Aparium Hotel Group’s six new openings between now and early 2022.

The hotel was designed by local firm Alfonso Architects. The 178-room property immerses guests in mid-century Cuban decor, from four massive Francisco Goya reproductions to Chihuly-style glass-blown globes paying homage to Ybor’s famous streetlights.
