IGETHI (ee-get-ee), a premium hemp-derived THC spirit, will be served at Le Méridien Tampa, the boutique hotel known as The Courthouse, beginning in January.
The announcement represents a striking cultural "full circle" moment. Once a place where prohibition-era laws were enforced, the courthouse now welcomes a modern, federally compliant THC spirit, thoughtfully served within a luxury hospitality setting. The moment reflects a broader evolution in American culture: from prohibition to regulation, and from stigma to intentional adult consumption.
Le Méridien Tampa's Courthouse building, originally constructed in 1905, has long stood as a symbol of civic authority. Its transformation into a design-forward hotel has made it a destination for travelers and locals alike, blending history with contemporary experience. The introduction of IGETHI further underscores that transformation, aligning heritage with modern consumer preferences.
"Serving IGETHI in a former federal courthouse is not about provocation, it's about progress," said Stephanie Hastings, Head of Communications for IGETHI. "This placement reflects how far culture, regulation, and hospitality have come. Adults today are seeking alternatives to alcohol that feel intentional, elevated, and socially relevant."
IGETHI is crafted for mindful enjoyment, offering a refined alternative to traditional alcohol in social settings. The brand's presence at Le Méridien Tampa speaks to a growing hospitality trend: meeting guests where wellness, moderation, and culture intersect.
IGETHI products served at The Courthouse are hemp-derived, federally compliant, and intended for adults 21 and over.
