Notes: The Manatee River Hotel was located in Bradenton, FL and was known as "the Pink Palace." The "New Manatee River Hotel"was built in 1925 to replace the old hotel. The hotel was located at 309 10th Street, and was in close proximity to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Depot in the downtown area of Bradenton. The hotel was built by the Van Sweringer Company of Cleveland, Ohio, for the then enormous amount of $850,000.

The historic structure became a senior living facility in 1966 and in 2008 was being converted to the Riverpark Grande, an "upscale 40-unit and four two-story penthouse lofts." Construction was expected to be completed by mid-2008. However, in checking back on this entry and per the following blog post, the renovations were completed in 2013 when the hotel reopened as a Hampton Inn: https://imyourchuck.wordpress.com/2016/02/18/hotel-revitalization-in-bradenton-florida/

The Manatee River Hotel logo is a detailed emblem of a brown manatee floating atop a blue river against a gold background.
