The 10 best hotels in Tampa

Discover the top hotels in Tampa, handpicked by local expert Terry Ward.

Whenever my friends are booking a vacation in Florida and ask for my tips, I love to share my favorites from the city I call home. When it comes to the most atmospheric hotels in my sunny city by the bay, narrowing down my picks to just 10 options can be a bit of a challenge. For this list, I considered location, first-class amenities that add that extra sparkle to your stay and unexpected perks, whether that’s in the form of a sky-high rooftop bar, a spectacular pool scene buzzing with energy or a hideaway boutique property in a more historic part of town. When it comes to the best hotels in Tampa that come with a true sense of place and style, I’ve got you covered.

1.

JW Marriott Tampa Water Street

Address:

510 Water Street

Price:

$300-$1,557/night

Ever since it opened in late 2020, this stylish stay in the buzzing Water Street Tampa district has made a name for itself as one of the best hotels in Tampa. I’ve loved watching the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street unveil new openings over recent years.

Their latest offering is Tampa’s highest rooftop bar, Beacon, located on the hotel’s 27th floor. It’s my favorite perch in the city for sipping a spicy margarita and sharing a charcuterie tower with friends, all while overlooking the city and water views.

Rooms are minimalist and sleek, with luxurious linens and large windows that take in views of Harbour Island across the riverfront. This hotel also has my favorite wellness escape, the Spa by JW, with a rooftop whirlpool and 10 treatment rooms. Plan at least one meal at the ground floor Driftlight Steakhouse, with French brasserie vibes and dishes like gulf shrimp cocktail and wagyu carpaccio.

2.

AC Hotel by Marriott Tampa Airport

Address:

4020 West Boy Scout Boulevard

Price:

$162-$638/night

Keep reading for proof that a hotel stay near a mid-size city’s airport doesn’t have to lack style and substance. The AC Hotel by Marriott Tampa Airport is less than three miles from Tampa’s friendly international airport (my favorite in all of the US).

You can easily walk to nearby restaurants like Cooper’s Hawk, and it’s also ideally located for jumping on the Courtney Campbell Causeway to make the 21-mile jaunt west to Clearwater Beach. You’ll also find complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport, making this one of the best hotels in Tampa for convenience.

Among other great amenities here you’ll find an outdoor pool that stays open late (till 11pm every day of the week), a modern gym with ellipticals, treadmills and free weights, and the lively AC Lounge, a fun spot to gather before going out that serves up cocktails and tapas.

Hotel Haya

Address:

1412 East 7th Avenue

Price:

$133-$486/night
