Extended Stay America, the leading mid-priced extended-stay hotel brand, announces the groundbreaking of the first new construction Extended Stay America Select Suites prototype in Wildwood, Florida. The franchised property is being developed by Southern Hospitality.

The four-story, 124-room Extended Stay America Select Suites prototype was thoughtfully designed to drive greater efficiencies while providing the basic amenities and services that cater to longer-staying, value-conscious guests. The prototype maximizes a smaller footprint, with construction taking place on land as little as 1.75 acres. At slightly over 50,000 square-feet, the property will feature apartment-like suites with full kitchens and on-site laundry. By design, there are minimal public spaces to further contain operational costs.

Known as "The Crossroads of Florida," Wildwood is centrally located near Florida's Interstate 75, Turnpike, State Road 44, and U.S. Route 301. The area is home to notable manufacturing, distribution, and agricultural centers, including Charlotte Pipe and Foundry, Crevalle Boats, Gresco Utility Supply, Mapei, and Primus Pipe & Tube. Part of the greater Sumter County, Wildwood also offers convenient access to The Villages, UF Health and HCA Florida Hospitals, GatorWorld Parks of Florida, and many local golf courses.
