Promising the comforts of home with the ease and reliability of hotels, Mint House at Metro St. Petersburg is nearing a spring opening of its hospitality concept in the EDGE District. The building, located at 77 11th Street North, will house seven stories of 100 furnished and tech-enabled apartments available for short term rental, like hotels or AirBNBs.
Constructed by DevMar, Mint House finds itself in a prime location (across the street from Red Mesa Mercado and behind Copa, for frame of reference) as the neighborhood surrounding it continues to grow. The company behind the concept is a national brand, with 25 locations already opened across the country. This will mark the company’s third Florida location, with two more in Miami.
The concept is to provide travelers with spacious high-tech apartments within a more hotel-style setting, offering spaces with amenities such as in-unit laundry, 24/7 digital concierge service, on-demand fitness inside the units, and even personalized options such as pre-stocked groceries. Their goal is to provide “the comfort of home,” alongside “the luxury of a hotel.”
Mint House will also have a resort-style pool, a fitness center, and a bicycle rental program. Particularly popular among business travelers, each Mint House unit comes equipped with a full kitchen, living and dining areas, and ample workspace. No opening date has been set, though construction is nearing completion.
More from the company: “Mint House’s award-winning properties are thoughtfully designed with full kitchens, expansive living areas and connected workspaces in prime downtown locations—offering a new kind of stay that’s smarter and more comfortable than a hotel and delivers on the personalized service and consistency travelers have come to expect. Mint House’s proprietary tech stack and mobile-first model powers a seamless and feature-rich guest experience including mobile check-in and keyless entry, pre-stocked groceries, 24/7 digital concierge services, on-demand fitness, smart thermostats and shoppable spaces.”
