Tampa Howard Johnson renamed The Barrymore
The Howard Johnson Plaza Tampa Downtown has changed its name to The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk. The change follows a multimillion dollar guest-room improvement project to the 14-story hotel.
The hotel's owner, H.I. Development Corp., says “The Barrymore” name is a tribute to the rich artistic history of the Barrymore family, who have been stars of stage and screen for generations.
Founded in 1959, H.I. Development develops and operates franchise and independent hotels in the United States, Caribbean and Europe.
