The RP Funding Center · Lakeland, FL · Minutes from our Lakeland stays

About RP Funding Center

The RP Funding Center is Lakeland's main civic and event venue. The complex includes Jenkins Arena, Sikes Hall, and the Youkey Theatre, and hosts concerts, conferences, trade shows, indoor sports (Lakeland Magic, Florida Tropics), and seasonal events throughout the year.

Concert and event guests usually want a real place to land after a show — not a hotel two highways away. All four of our stays sit minutes from the venue, with full kitchens and quiet bedrooms for the morning after.

Tips

  • Check the venue calendar before booking. Mid-week event nights can fill up Lakeland's short-term rental inventory on short notice.
  • Parking around the venue can stack up on big-show nights. Allow extra time or use a rideshare from the stay.
  • Pair an evening event with a downtown Lakeland dinner. Restaurants on Main and Kentucky pick up the pre-show crowd.
