Moxy Opens St. Petersburg Location As Tampa Bay Continues Growth

ST. PETERSBURG, FL - Moxy has opened its doors in St. Petersburg. “This is a one-of-a-kind lifestyle hotel that not only works within St. Pete’s local traditions and culture but also adds to the neighborhood,” said Nick Pantuliano, COO, PTM Partners. Moxy St. Pete is located at 1234 Central Avenue.

“Moxy St. Pete reflects the energy of the EDGE District, particularly as St. Pete continues to grow into a true international destination. We welcome travelers and locals alike to Moxy St. Pete and the EDGE District, and can’t wait for guests to experience all of the hotel’s offerings. With our hotel partners DoveHill and Wurzak Hotel Group, we’re excited to be introducing a space that will help to anchor PTM’s expansive, mixed-use EDGE Collective development.”

“With this opening, we’re bringing something new and exciting to St. Pete: an experience-driven destination designed for locals and visitors that is woven into the fabric of the neighborhood,” said Jake Wurzak, president of Wurzak Hotel Group and co-developer behind Moxy St. Pete.

“Our doors are open, not just to provide a place to stay, but to become a vibrant social hub where culture, artistry, and community converge. We look forward to contributing to the ongoing evolution of the EDGE Collective concept developed by our partner PTM.”

The hotel features a podcast studio in the lobby, available for the public to rent for free, and 1,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, with a unique pool mural that plays on viewers’ depth perception, by Miami-based artist duo Allison Matherly and Jeffrey Noble.

The hotel’s meeting room also features shuffleboard floors as a tribute to the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club, the oldest and largest in the world. On the sixth floor, the hotel’s 24-7 fitness center is equipped with a boxing bag, gymnastics equipment, Peloton bikes, and a full-circuit gym.

Moxy St. Pete is home to the neighborhood’s first rooftop pool destination. Located on the 7th floor, guests are greeted by a pool lined with colorful cabanas alongside Sip ‘n Dip, an open-air bar ideal for enjoying refreshing libations and poolside favorites including fresh fruit plates, chips and guacamole, and chicken tenders, as well higher-end offerings including a fresh Seafood Tower featuring Citrus Shrimp, Oysters, Tuna Poke, Lobster, and Black Pepper Mignonette.

Miami-based artist Douglas Hoekzema, known as Hoxxoh, designed the rooftop’s geometric mural overlooking the surroundings.

The hotel is part of the EDGE Collective, a new 500,000-square-foot mixed-use destination.
