The Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel recently revealed a new look after $10 million in renovations that took nearly a year to complete.

The 293-room hotel, which is connected to the International Plaza shopping mall in Tampa, updated the hotel lobby, guest rooms, outdoor patios and the private dining room at the hotel's in-house restaurant, Pelagia Trattoria.

"The new look does more than simply change the color scheme and interior of the hotel. It contributes to creating a more sophisticated experience for our guests. There is now a new attitude, a new energy and a new excitement throughout the hotel," said Jim Bartholomay, general manager of the Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel, in a news release.

Renovations included a new interior paint color scheme, updated decor and furnishings, and new communal seating areas where guests can order Pelagia Trattoria's cuisine and cocktails. Guest rooms were renovated to fit the "nautical nature of the region," a news release said.

The Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel hired KMCA Design, a Jacksonville Beach-based firm specializing in the interior design of upscale hotels, to come up with the new design.
