Seminole Hard Rock Hotel has really gone above and beyond with this world class architectural feat. What started as a “crazy” idea in 2007 by James Allen, CEO of Seminole Gaming and chairman of Hard Rock International, the vision is finally coming to life this fall.

The Seminole Hard Rock “Guitar” Hotel

The world’s first guitar-shaped building is part of a 1.5 BILLION dollar renovation of the current Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Florida. Designed to look like two guitars back to back, the completed building will stand 450ft tall and boast next level amenities. This is not going to just be another hotel and casino but will be a global landmark and travel destination.

Once completed, guests will be able to visit this guitar shaped building entirely wrapped with beautiful blue glass windows capable of withstanding a level 4 hurricane. The building will have 36 floors and an additional 638 rooms, bringing the total rooms of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel to 1,270 rooms.

The new Hard Rock Hotel will also flaunt a 41,000 sqft spa, a retail shopping area that spans an extra 26,000 sqft, a rooftop bar that is 12,000 sqft, 16 new diverse restaurants, a comedy theater, and a whopping 150,000 sqft of convention and meeting space. Like I said, they really have gone above and beyond.

If pampering yourself isn’t really your thing, there will also be a 30,000 sqft gaming floor with over 3,000 of the most popular slot machines, nearly 200 gaming tables, and a 45-table poker room. You can ‘bet’ there will be something for everyone!

A 13.5 Acre Water Paradise

If the architectural accomplishments of this hotel doesn’t impress you enough already, the property will also have a 13.5 acre water paradise. The private paradise will consist of a tropical style beach front with private cabanas, waterfalls, swaying palm trees, and a large water expanse that is nearly 3 football fields in length for canoeing, paddle boarding, and other outdoor activities.

Hard Rock Live – A 6,500-Seat State-Of-The-Art Venue

At this point we’re in disbelief of what is being built in Florida right now. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel will also have a 6,500-seat venue with state-of-the-art technology to bring on the best performances from around the world. With the goal of being one of the prime entertainment destinations, Hard Rock Live plans to host 100+ shows per year including; concerts, theatrical shows, boxing matches, and much more.
