Hotels in Tampa

Nestled on the west coast of Florida, Tampa is an exciting destination with a great outdoors culture, a lovely warm climate and a whole host of restaurants, museums, shops and entertainment spots to enjoy.

Voted as being one of the best outdoor cities, Tampa in the Hillsborough district of Florida is a popular tourist hotspot and a gorgeous destination for a fun trip.

This beautiful city was historically a battleground between Native Americans and European settlers, and today much of the indigenous people's culture has disappeared. But this glorious city is a modern triumph in architecture and culture, with a welcoming climate of hot, stormy summers and pleasant, cool winters.

Getting to know Tampa

Each area of Tampa has its own character, so you'll never get bored exploring the streets. The city centre is awash with stunning, postmodern high-rise architecture, while the Ybor City District has a gorgeous collection of protected historic buildings.

If you'd like to get a cultural fix, Tampa is the place for you too. There are so many galleries, museums and cultural venues to explore, with Tampa Theatre, Opera Tampa, Museum of Science & Industry and Tampa Museum of Art to name just a few.

To experience the city's nightlife at its best, seek out popular spots in the Ybor City, Channelside or SoHo districts as a starting point. Or, for a fun afternoon pop across to the Lowry Park Zoo or the Florida Aquarium.
