Hotel ORA + Private Residences will feature 627 luxury hotel suites and 31 private residences occupying the upper floors of a striking 39-story tower. These residences are designed for those seeking both luxury and convenience, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the city, expansive terraces, high ceilings, and private elevator access. Novembre emphasized that the hotel suites are ideal for investment-minded buyers, combining income-generating potential with the allure of luxury living.
Buyers will have access to 22 distinctive floor plans for condo-hotel units, priced between $640,000 and $1.25 million, as well as eight unique penthouse layouts that reach up to $2 million. Residents will enjoy automatic membership to the exclusive ORA Society club, which provides VIP access to private events, a high-end restaurant, event spaces, and a variety of special offerings.
Expanded Luxury Amenities
Hotel ORA + Private Residences is designed to provide a five-star lifestyle with an array of high-end amenities, including:
A tenth-floor amenity deck featuring an infinity-edge pool with sun loungers, private cabanas, and a DJ stage for poolside entertainment.
A poolside restobar, perfect for enjoying sun-soaked cocktails.
An exclusive spa with specialized treatment rooms.
A state-of-the-art fitness center, complete with a spin studio.
His and her locker rooms featuring infrared saunas, steam rooms, and hot-cold plunge pools.
A ground-floor patisserie, lobby bar, and signature restaurant, bringing a dynamic dining experience to the property.
Expansive event and convention spaces, including a grand ballroom and dynamic lounges for business and social gatherings.
A private rooftop helipad, offering VIP convenience for high-end travelers.
The 627 hotel suites will be sold as income properties, with prices ranging from $656,700 to $1.25 million. These suites will function as traditional hotel rooms, but owners will have the option to rent them out, generating income through the hotel’s management, an outside management company, or they can manage it themselves.
For those seeking full-time luxury living, the 31 Privé Residences on the tower's uppermost levels provide an exclusive residential experience. These homes feature designer finishes, airy terraces, and private elevator access, offering a seamless blend of sophistication, privacy, and exclusivity. Residents will also receive access to the Ora members-only club, which will host private events and offer VIP privileges.
For investment-minded buyers, the ORA Luxe Collective management service ensures a seamless ownership experience by maximizing rental efficiency while delivering world-class hospitality.
With its prime location in Tampa’s Channel District, the Hotel ORA + Private Residences is poised to become a key component of the area’s ongoing transformation. Novembre sees the development as a natural extension of the thriving Water Street district, which will be directly adjacent to the property once completed.
“We’re going to be a continuation of all that’s happening there,” said Novembre, emphasizing the project's role in the district's vibrant future.
The Hotel ORA + Private Residences is the second major hotel project to be announced for the Channel District in recent weeks, underscoring the area’s growing appeal as a luxury destination. A new 13-story hotel with 304 rooms, retail space, and a restaurant is also slated for development just a short distance away at 111 N. Meridian Ave.
With its combination of high-end residences, top-tier amenities, and prime location, Hotel ORA + Private Residences is set to be a transformative force in Tampa’s evolving luxury market.
