Discover where to stay in Tampa.
Tampa is Florida with a twist: equal parts sunshine, city energy, and waterfront breezes. From breezy bayside strolls to Cuban sandwiches in Ybor City, it’s got laid-back charm without skipping sophistication.
Whether you’re coming for the food scene or rooftop cocktails with a view, your hotel stay should match the energy. We cut through the noise and filtered out the fluff.
These are the top 5 hotels travelers genuinely rave about.
Top 5 picks from the Foresyte community.
#5 Hyatt House
Shared by stephanie hanson – 148 ❤️
“This one was the move for longer stays. Kitchenettes, laundry, and room to stretch out after all those beach runs and late-night bites. Felt like our own little condo in Tampa—only with way better cleaning service.”
#4 Hampton Inn Downtown
Shared by Caleb Anderson – 148 ❤️
“Classic, convenient, and clean—right near all the good stuff. Friendly staff, hot breakfast, and enough space to spread out and recharge. We loved how easy it was to get around from here.”
#3 Marriott Water Street
Shared by Riley – 149 ❤️
“Perfectly perched by the bay, this Marriott gave us those waterfront views we lived for. Modern, walkable, and buzzing with activity—it felt like the heartbeat of downtown. We’d grab drinks and watch the boats roll by like we had nowhere else to be.”
#2 Palihouse Hyde Park
Shared by Yasmine Fletcher – 181 ❤️
“Oof, this one. Boutique luxury with personality in spades. Eclectic interiors, leafy courtyards, and rooms that made us feel like we were starring in a lifestyle shoot. Perfectly placed in charming Hyde Park—very hard to leave.”
#1 JW Marriott
Shared by Caleb Anderson – 225 ❤️
“The crown jewel. From the minute we walked into the soaring lobby, we knew this one was on another level. Poolside cabanas, luxury at every turn, and service that made us feel like VIPs. This was Tampa done with sparkle.”
