Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood is the premier casino resort property owned and operated by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. It is a flagship facility within Hard Rock International, globally recognized for its unique entertainment, gaming, and hospitality experiences. Following a substantial $1.5 billion expansion that debuted in October 2019, the resort enhanced its offerings with 638 upscale guestrooms in the iconic Guitar Hotel, along with 168 luxury guestrooms and distinctive swim-up suites in the Oasis Tower. Additionally, the Hard Rock Hotel itself received a redesign culminating in a total of 1,271 guest accommodations across the resort. The resort boasts a vast array of amenities including a Bora Bora-style lagoon complete with private cabanas and dedicated butler service, a sprawling 42,000 square-foot Rock Spa & Salon, and a 13.5-acre water recreation area featuring options like swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Dining and nightlife amenities are impressive, with 19 diverse dining outlets and 20 bars and lounges catering to a variety of tastes.

For business and event needs, the resort provides 120,000 square feet of premium meeting and convention space, including a large exhibition hall and a retail promenade.
