Hotel Vela
A seductive boutique beauty set a stone’s throw from Gulfport’s beaches and blackjack tables, Hotel Vela ushers in a new way to stay in the Mississippi Gulf Coast’s largest city. All new, yet rooted in a bygone era of sultry jazz and secret speakeasies, our 16-room hotel is poised and playful, with spaces made for savoring well-made cocktails or simply slipping away for a late afternoon nap before dinner at our own Siren Social Club.
Our Story
Located in one of downtown Gulfport’s most historic buildings, Hotel Vela channels the port city’s legacy as the Gulf Coast’s undisputed boomtown. You’ll feel it in every original brick and floorboard.
