Clearwater/St. Pete are trending as a top destination. While the area has long been known for its stunning beaches, a surge in social media content promoting the region, along with the tourism board’s efforts, is yielding impressive results.

One consistent highlight in articles about the destination is the anticipation for Opal Sol’s opening this spring. Designed by Nichols Architects, this new hotel will feature 250 ocean-facing guestrooms across 16 levels.

“Opal Sands is opening Opal Sol right across the street from their existing property. So that’s going to be a great resort, with a ton of meeting space and high-end rooms. You can go back and forth between them, and they all have waterfront views,” stated VSPC President and CEO Brian Lowack in a recent interview.

Nichols Architects has also designed Opal Sands and Wyndham Grand Clearwater, two other iconic stays for guests who want to enjoy this beautiful destination.

With Opal Sol’s imminent opening, Nichols Architects continues to shape the skyline and hospitality landscape of Clearwater/St. Pete, delivering exceptional design and unforgettable guest experiences. We look forward to welcoming visitors to this latest gem on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
