Quorum was engaged in 1994 to assume operation of this hotel on behalf of an investment partnership controlled by a Fortune 100 company.  After operating and improving operations under a Crowne Plaza franchise for 10 years, Quorum converted the property to the Quorum Hotel Tampa in late 2004 upon the expiration of the Crowne Plaza franchise.  In addition to the savings associated with removing the franchise, Quorum has met or exceeded all previous financial metrics achieved as a Crowne Plaza.  Quorum has supervised multiple renovations of this property.
