Indie Flea is female owned and operated. It was founded by Rosey Williams nearly 10 years ago in downtown St. Petersburg. Williams operated her own vintage shop on the 600 Block of Central Avenue, and would often host local makers on the sidewalk to help stimulate and promote foot traffic around the neighborhood.

Today the Indie Flea supports hundreds of amazing local businesses across the region and the state.
Hotel Haya is located at 1412 E 7th Avenue.
Bringing 1950s Havana to Ybor City
The Hotel Haya, designed by Alfonso Architects Incorporated, transported its block of Ybor City back to 1950s Havana, known as the golden age for the city.
The adaptive reuse of two distinctive buildings combined with a smart new build, Hotel Haya captures the exuberant Cuban, Italian, and Spanish influences of the famed Ybor City neighborhood.
The rooms are lush. The “mid-century Cuban” guestrooms will feature period fabrics and colors, along with locally made glass bulbs blown at the Morean Arts Center. that pay homage to Ybor’s famous streetlights.
178-room chic hotel in the heart of Ybor
Exposed brick walls, a giant neon “HAYA” sign, and classic art –including four massive Goya reproductions – will complement the exceedingly energetic and joyous colors.
The hotel features 178 rooms making it the largest property in Aparium’s portfolio.
