Book Hotels in Plant City, FL

Don`t be fooled by the name. Plant City, Florida, isn`t named after the local verdure—although it is the winter strawberry capital of the world. It`s actually named after regional railroad tycoon Henry Bradley Plant, and that`s good news because it`s easier to say (and spell) than Ichepucksassa, the city`s original name. Today, this geographically central community is a center of regional history and family fun. Book one of the great Plant City hotels and you`ll also enjoy easy access to both Tampa and Orlando.
