Hotel South Tampa & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"I had an emergency and had to leave and they were extremely understanding and great help which is so nice to have people who care in times that it matters most. Full disclosure this is definitely more of a motel experience than a hotel. Somewhere to sleep for the night. Overall with service provided I’m extremely grateful and thankful for the nice understanding and caring staff!!"

"My room was just cleaned, the floors were wet mopped and you could still see wet dots. It was all good. I didn't have washcloths in my bathroom, but I made do. Still had fresh towels and hand towels."

10/10 Excellent
"Really adorable house! The host was very responsive when something came up and had the issue resolved right away. Air hockey was a big win with both our kids. The house could have used a tower fan for air circulation and TVs in all of the bedrooms. Biggest downfall was not having a washing machine available for swim wear and towels. Over all really happy with the house and would stay here again!"

10/10 Excellent
"The Great Escape was a great choice for our family ( 2 adults and 2 children under 10 years of age).The hot tub, outdoor enclosure and board games were a hit for our kids. Everyone enjoyed the comfortable beds and couches and felt right at home after a smooth check-in process. Mike and Paige were responsive and helpful for any inquiries we had, and we could tell that they had put a lot of time and effort into providing a top notch rental experience. A great experience!"

What to Expect in South Tampa

South Tampa is set apart from the rest of the city, taking up most of the Interbay Peninsula. It is almost completely surrounded by water, with Tampa Bay on the west and Hillsborough Bay on the east, and at the far south it comes to an end at the MacDill Air Force Base, which sits at the tip.

But that’s just the geography, and South Tampa is so much more than a place on the map. It is considered one of Tampa’s hippest and most affluent areas, and here you will find the neighbourhoods of SoHo, Hyde Park, Bayshore, Davis Island and Palma Ceia.

Hotels in South Tampa

South Tampa makes for an idyllic place to stay just minutes from St. Petersburg and its beaches, as well as from downtown Tampa and the airport. Hotels in South Tampa run from simple yet affordable two-star inns to high-quality spacious three-star hotels, and chic, contemporary luxury four-star accommodation. The modern artsy decor and architecture of many of the hotels reflects the regeneration of South Tampa and its status as the cultural hub of the city.

Get to Know South Tampa

At the very epicentre of South Tampa is Bayshore Boulevard, one of the longest continuous sidewalks in the world and the area’s most well-known landmark. In the balmy summer weather locals jog, walk, rollerblade and cycle along the boulevard, and it is very much a place to see and be seen.

Bayshore Boulevard also plays host to various events throughout the year, from colourful parades such as the Gasparilla Pirate Invasion Parade to poplar marathons.

From golf courses to luxury country clubs, South Tampa is filled with things to do. And while many golf clubs here are private or members only, there are several public courses within easy reach.

Catch a film at one of South Tampa’s several movie theatres or see what productions are on at the local theatres. From your South Tampa hotel, you will also be near many swish cafes and restaurants, as well as designer and independent boutique shops.
