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.

Such a great lot of information, thanks for sharing.
It was a great hotel – and city to visit. Can’t wait to go back.
I’m ready to go! Sounds like a great place to stay and city to visit.
We loved it – maybe next year for spring training.
Looks like a great trip! The pool area of the hotel looks so relaxing.
That rooftop pool is wonderful. We did have a couple nice days there.
Wow! That looks like an amazing vacation. I could you one like this, so nice! Looks like you had amazing weather also.
I would go back in a heartbeat. Great hotel and town.
Great review. Thanks. I love hotels with rooftop pools.
This one was great, and the private cabanas are extra special.
The location sounds perfect, and the free streetcar just outside is a huge bonus. I can see me spending way too long by the rooftop pool
It’s a great hotel and location. The street car is fun just to ride, but makes it easy to get around too.
I love that you can bring your pet. An added bonus for a hotel with a great location.
It was a perfect place. Part of the time was a bit chilly so the fire pits were great.
Many places are allowing pets of certain sizes. Some might be expensive but boarding has become outrageous as well.
I really love the modern design and details. The patio seems perfect for a chill vibe.
It’s a great hotel and the location makes it perfect.
Thanks for the detailed I formative post! Pinning for later 🙂
If ever in Tampa, the place to stay.
