New 118-room hotel coming to downtown region

FORT MYERS — A new Hampton Inn by Hilton is coming to downtown Fort Myers.

The four-story Hampton Inn will be on downtown Fort Myers’ main traffic artery, Cleveland Avenue, and will feature 118 rooms, an outdoor pool and patio area, a flexible boardroom and a fitness center, according to a statement. Situated on a two-acre lot, the 65,000 square foot building will be an infill lot development that will take about one year to complete before it opens to guests, the release adds. Construction is expected to begin later this month, after a virtual groundbreaking ceremony.
