Discover the Magic of Centennial Plaza: A Beachfront Oasis in Gulfport, MS
Centennial Plaza is a breathtaking property located directly across from the white sand beaches in Gulfport, Mississippi. Set on a 48-acre site that was once home to the Gulfport Veterans Administration Medical Center Historic District, the resort now features ten beautifully restored buildings that highlight the signature Spanish-Colonial Revival architecture of the region.
The property is home to two distinct hotels that cater to different styles of travel. The Oasis Resort features 152 rooms and a full-service, family-friendly American eatery. The Grand Centennial Hotel offers a more intimate boutique experience with 63 elegant rooms and personalized service. For weddings and special events, the Historic Chapel remains one of the most unique venues on the Gulf Coast.
Guests of either hotel enjoy exclusive access to a 3-acre water playground that includes slides, a lazy river, splash pad, and resort-style pool. The rest of the property is yours to explore—from shaded walking paths under majestic Live Oaks to wide-open greens perfect for picnics and play.
