Holiday Inn Lakeland- South Changes Name
the old holiday inn sign by Rakka
I attended a Lakeland Chamber of Commerce Leads Group meeting this week (more on that in another post), and learned an interesting tidbit of information.
After 42 years as a Holiday Inn franchise, HI Development (the owners of the Holiday Inn Lakeland- South) have decided to take a bold, new approach and become The Avenue Hotel Lakeland. The name change took effect on Dec. 27.
Even the restaurant is getting a new name and an updated menu. La Dolce Vita is now Ruby’s at the Avenue. Their slogan is “comfort on a plate” and just as that slogan suggests, the menu will be packed with southern, comfort food. Not to be confused with Southern Comfort food. (I’m here all week, folks!)
Director of Sales Carl Stutzman says there’s a new name, but it’s “still the same great stay.”
The Avenue Hotel Lakeland is located at 3405 S. Florida Ave. It has 171 rooms, and other facilities include a conference room, as well as a banquet room that holds up to 75 people.
For more information, call (863) 646-5731.
