HYDE PARK HOTEL TAMPA - Key Persons

Amalie Arena is a short taxi ride from us and is the home of the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning. The venue, located in Downtown Tampa's Channelside District was a secondary location chosen after the failure of Tampa Coliseum Inc. to secure funding to construct an arena on Tampa Sports Authority land near Tampa Stadium. It opened in 1996 as the Ice Palace. The Arena also houses concerts, wrestling matches, bull riding and ics shows including "Disney on Ice" events. It has even been home to the Frozen Four college hockey tournament.
