In September, the Luminary Hotel and the Caloosa Sound Convention Center opened their doors.
And now, three more hotels are on the way.
The new and improved convention center, formerly Harborside Event Center, and the fact that people want to come to Fort Myers to enjoy the weather are driving the construction.
A new hotel is planned on an empty lot at the intersection of First Street and Jackson Street.
The AC Marriott is in the financing stages but has been given zoning approval to build an 8-story, 132-room hotel. It’s scheduled to be completed in 2022.

The Home & Garden Show paved the way for events coming back to Fort Myers during the pandemic and this weekend they are ready to welcome more people to their second show at the Caloosa Sound Convention Center.
Around 100 vendors and businesses, ranging from hot tub vendors to landscaping companies, set up at the convention center for the show.
The booths are spread out farther apart in order to allow for social distancing.
“The only thing that they need to remember is, just try to keep a social distance,” said General Manager David Pardi.
