The city’s first hotel, a six-
story, 126-room Holiday Inn,
opened for business in 1970
on PGA Boulevard. It was built
by Pappalardo Construction
Company on a seven-acre site
close to the PGA Headquarters.
For a brief time, the hotel was
referred to as MacArthur’s
Holiday Inn, after John D.
MacArthur, the city’s founder.
The hotel served the area’s
winter visitors as well as the
city’s many businesses. It also
became a social hub for dining
and other social events for
local residents.
