Make the Most of Your Tampa Stay

Cultural heritage and modern waterfront

Tampa has evolved from its storied past as the Cigar Capital of the World into a sophisticated Gulf Coast destination where history and innovation meet along the Hillsborough River. The 2.6-mile Tampa Riverwalk connects downtown's business district to cultural landmarks and waterfront dining, while the Water Street Tampa development has earned recognition as North America's first gold-level WELL Community. Historic Ybor City preserves the city's multicultural roots through red-brick cigar factories and wrought-iron balconies, where Cuban, Spanish, and Italian immigrant heritage remains visible in the architecture and authentic dining.

Elevated dining and business convenience

The culinary scene has gained serious recognition, with Michelin stars awarded to restaurants like Lilac at the Tampa EDITION and Koya's intimate 8-seat counter showcasing hyper-seasonal Japanese ingredients. Business travelers benefit from proximity to Tampa International Airport and premium hotels near the convention center and Westshore district. Hyde Park Village provides upscale shopping and refined dining, while the free TECO streetcar connects downtown to Ybor City.

Gateway to Gulf Coast experiences

Tampa's central location makes it an ideal base for exploring the region, with Clearwater Beach and St. Petersburg's Dalí Museum both within 30 minutes. The city balances corporate functionality with distinctive character—from the Moorish Revival architecture of the Henry B. Plant Museum to Seminole Heights' bohemian restaurant scene.
