It was nice but for the price I wouldn’t recommend
Pros:

I liked the decor and staff

Cons:

The AC in the first room didn’t work. The pools heater was on so the pool water was warm. I was in the apartments across from the main hotel, I would have preferred to drop and pickup my car via valet at the garage located on my side, not from the main hotel across the street.

A wonderful luxurious getaway
Pros:

Such a great trip to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Such a great luxury hotel. The in room amenities were exceptional. We enjoyed our stay here. The food was great and the staff was helpful. Bonus was the close proximity to the Bern's Steakhouse which is phenomenal.

A Sophisticated Oasis in South Tampa
Pros:

The Epicurean Hotel in Tampa is a masterclass in modern hospitality, blending high-end comfort with a vibrant, food-centric atmosphere. Whether you’re visiting for business or a weekend getaway, it offers a polished experience that stands out in the Soho District.

Accommodations & Technology
The rooms are impressively spacious, providing plenty of room to breathe and relax. The bedding is exceptionally comfortable, making it easy to get a great night’s rest. I was also particularly impressed by the updated technology and amenities integrated throughout the property—everything feels intentional, modern, and high-functioning.

Dining & Atmosphere
You don’t even need to leave the hotel to find some of the best food and drinks in the city. The on-site restaurants and bars are excellent, offering well-crafted menus and a great vibe for both casual afternoon drinks and sophisticated dinners.

Service
What truly elevates the stay is the team. From the moment you pull up, the valets are efficient and welcoming, and the front-of-house staff is consistently helpful and attentive to every detail.

Exceeds expectations
Pros:

An amazing hotel exceeding our expectations. They couldn’t have been friendlier, from the valet to the rooftop bar. The restaurant had amazing food with fabulous service, they care about their guests. Sam, Casey, Shaun and so many more that I didn’t get their names take pride in their job and know what customer service is. We will definitely be back 🩷🩷

The Spy who loved Me
Pros:

So, who's your favorite Bond? Daniel Craig? Pierce Brosnan? Connery, probably the best. Probably not Roger Moore, although he did a decent job. The song from one of his films, is the point here. Nobody does it Better, well, at least as Tampa hotels go. The Epicurean remains as the best of the hotels in Tampa. Have not stayed in any of the downtown hotels but feel free to spend a large amount at one of those places. But here, it's like putting on that favorite pair of jeans. Comfortable, fits just right. The front desk crew, pleasant and courteous as always. Ever helpful. And who offers a glass of wine at check-in? No place I know of. The rooms, comfortable, quiet. All you need. Still amusing, the amount and variety of alcohol options in the in room bar. Certainly cannot call it a mini bar. Not with these size bottles available. Adds to the unique character of this hotel. A blissful shower. And the quality of the restaurant food remains excellent. Location, food, room. All the best. Except for the parking, remains valet only. Ah, well. Maybe your favorite Bond movie is You Only Live Twice. But make sure those two lives include stays here.

Lovely hotel so convenient to Bern’s
Pros:

We stayed here to celebrate our first anniversary and also had dinner across the street at Bern’s. Both were exemplary. We were given a really gorgeous suite. The in-room amenities are fantastic including pre-mixed cocktails, wine and beer. The bathroom was as big as some hotel rooms and included separate large soaking tub and shower stall. The staff were great too. Highly recommended!
