This map shows locations of motels/ hotels near the Sundome in Tampa, site of this year’s Florida Baptist State Convention annual meeting

Reservations should be made directly to the preferred motel/ hotel. When making reservations, request the rate for the Florida Baptist State Convention. For some people, it may be possible to secure a lower rate (i.e. AAA, AARP) than that listed.

The approximate travel distance between the respective hotel and the civic center is noted in parentheses following the hotel name. Lodging identification numbers correspond to location numbers on the map.

Lodging properties listed reportedly do not offer sexually explicit in-room movies. All rooms are subject to one night’s room deposit, and state and local taxes. Inquire about the hotel’s advance cancellation requirements to ensure the refund of any room deposit.

Make reservations early since some of these lodging properties cannot guarantee room availability.

The headquarters hotel will be the Embassy Suites Hotel, at 3705 Spectrum Blvd., 813-977-7066, but reportedly there are no additional rooms available at that location.
