Tampa, located on Tampa Bay along Florida’s Gulf Coast, is one of the major business hubs of the State. However, it’s not all about commerce in this city on the water. It’s also known for its museums, culture, history, and family-friendly attractions. You’ll find Busch Gardens which features pulse-pounding rides and animal-viewing areas, historic Ybor City, a neighborhood developed by Cuban and Spanish cigar factory workers, and much more. It’s a city that’s worth exploring if you’ve never been. Our first visit, but not last.

Location

Tampa Marriott Water Street also offers excellent access to almost everything you’d want to see in the city. Located adjacent to the convention center in Tampa’s vibrant Water Street neighborhood, the hotel sits right on the Tampa Riverwalk,  so walking to the Florida Aquarium, Amalie Arena (home of NHL Tampa Bay Lightning) and Sparkman Wharf makes it convenient. 

From there it’s only a short trip to everything else the city has to offer, including tons of restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues, making the hotel both relaxing and convenient. You’ll even have easy access to boat tours, water activities, water taxis, and dolphin tours! 

You can also catch the free TECOLINE Streetcar just across the street.  Ride it to other attractions and restaurants, or just ride for fun.
