Newly renovated resort experience expected to open in November

Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa today announced the name of its new smoke-free resort experience “The Breeze: A Smoke-Free Experience By Hard Rock.” Expecting to open in November, The Breeze is designed for guests who prefer the option of a completely smoke-free environment from the moment they arrive until the moment they leave.

Extending beyond gaming, the new resort experience will offer a smoke-free arrival with access to lobby areas, hotel towers, restaurants, bars, gaming, spa and pool amenities. Developed in response to guest feedback, the enhancements reflect the property’s focus on delivering exceptional entertainment experiences for all visitors. The Breeze will give guests more choice, greater comfort and an elevated way to enjoy the resort.

“Our team members helped select names for consideration, and The Breeze captures the experience we’re creating for our guests,” said Travis Lunn, President of Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. “We look forward to offering more ways to play and enjoy the resort in a smoke-free setting.”

The renovation will transition portions of the casino floor stretching from the Elvis piano display to the Cipresso restaurant, along with the hotel lobby and L Bar, to smoke-free spaces. Work will include new carpeting, chairs, gaming table felts and ceiling treatments.

Guests can continue to enjoy the resort’s existing smoke-free restaurants and amenities, including the Draper Room, Rock Spa & Salon and the Mezzanine Casino. All resort amenities and restaurants will remain open throughout the resort’s renovation.

To maintain uninterrupted gaming operations during the transition to The Breeze, Hard Rock Event Center has been transformed into a temporary, 24-hour smoke-free gaming destination with 682 all-new slot machines and 34 table games.

Additional details about The Breeze will be announced closer to its opening. For more information, visit casino.hardrock.com/tampa/casino/smoke-free.
