Palmetto’s New Era with the Marriott Spa & Resort

Palmetto, FL is stepping into the spotlight with the arrival of the Marriott Spa & Resort at Palmetto, located at 600 US Highway 41. With over $100 million invested in this project and a $50 million expansion at the Manatee County Convention Center, the transformation along U.S. 41 has been nothing short of remarkable. Together, these investments have reshaped Palmetto into one of the Gulf Coast’s newest hubs for business, leisure, and cultural events.

A Destination Taking Shape

The November debut of the convention center’s expansion has already proven to be a resounding success, consistently selling out events due to overwhelming demand. And this is only the beginning. Phase One of the retail development adds 8,000 square feet of premier retail space, giving both guests and locals exciting new options to enjoy.

Highlights coming soon include:

• A nationally recognized coffee franchise with a convenient drive-thru.
• An authentic, family-run ethnic-inspired restaurant.
• A beloved local gift shop that has persevered and expanded despite past hurricane challenges.
• One of Bradenton’s top-rated restaurants, bringing fine dining and live entertainment to Palmetto.

With more restaurants and retail options planned along U.S. 41—including major national brands—the city is quickly evolving into a destination that blends local character with national appeal.
