Ahead of its 100th anniversary, downtown Tampa\u2019s Hotel Flor is hosting \u2018Historic Happy Hours\u2019<\/p>\n

Construction on downtown Tampa\u2019s Floridan Palace Hotel started 100 years ago. It opened in 1927 and shut down in 1989 before renovation efforts led to a reopening in 2012. It found new owners in 2021 and is now operated by Hilton under a new moniker: Hotel Flor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places since 1996, the hotel has tapped staff at its restaurant, The Dan<\/a>, to spend Fridays spotlighting different eras in the venue\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Anyone in 1920s garb gets a free dessert as The Dan for this final installment of the \u201cHistory Happy Hours.\u201d Next month\u2019s theme? Prohibition.<\/p>\n
