Welcome to the Florida Inns Chapter

Check out upcoming FRLA events on the calendar below. You can also find our events on the FRLA Facebook page. #FRLAinns


The Florida Inns Chapter, the only state-wide special interest chapter in FRLA, is comprised of small/independent properties, under 50 rooms.  The Board of Directors works to provide specific informational best practices sessions for these members.

As the only state-wide special interest chapter, we have a consumer website, www.florida-inns.com. This website is designed for consumers looking for unique and independent lodging options for their travels.  The site will be promoted through our partnership with VISIT FLORIDA and we will look to create a rack card for the welcome centers and for you to have as well.

For more information about the Florida Inns Chapter please contact Nicole Chapman, Regional Director for FRLA at 904-574-2259 or [email protected].
