A Charming Wedding Weekend Retreat

I flew over from the UK for a wedding and the Epicurean was a lovely surprise from the moment I stepped inside. My room was beautifully styled—especially that marble bathroom—and wonderfully comfortable after a long flight. Breakfast in the Lobby Bar set us up nicely for the day, and evening drinks on the EDGE rooftop with the Tampa skyline were thoroughly enjoyable. Between the attentive team, calming spa treatments and the inviting pool, it made for a perfectly relaxing wedding weekend.

We stayed at the Epicurean Hotel in Tampa last week and had a truly fantastic experience—wish we could have stayed longer! The location is absolutely perfect, with lots of great local restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. There's even an incredible homemade ice cream shop just across the carpark that was a hit with the whole family!
From the moment we arrived, the staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful—nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spacious, bright, modern, and spotless. With two large queen beds, it was perfect for our family of four and gave us plenty of room to relax together.
The food at the hotel was delicious—we enjoyed both breakfast and dinner, and the coffee was spot-on too. The pool area is a peaceful little oasis with fancy, comfy sunbeds that made it feel extra luxurious.
Parking was easy with the valet service, and everything about our stay just felt seamless and relaxing. We would highly recommend the Epicurean Hotel and will definitely be back next time we're in the Tampa area!

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Epicurean Hotel in Tampa from April 11–13 while visiting from the UK for my daughter's wedding, and I can genuinely say the experience exceeded every expectation.
From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the beautifully designed interiors. The food and beverage theming throughout the hotel is not only tasteful but perfectly curated — it adds a distinctive charm that sets this hotel apart. My room (309) was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. Every detail had been considered, and the overall cleanliness and attention to guest comfort was outstanding.
Special thanks must go to Ashton Hatter, the Front Office Manager, who looked after me with such professionalism and care. Ashton clearly runs a tight ship — it’s evident he’s respected by both the team and guests, and he ensured everything during my stay flowed seamlessly.
Nick, the Food & Beverage Manager, also deserves a mention for his attentiveness and for overseeing such a memorable dining experience. The food was absolutely superb — especially the post-wedding brunch, which was a highlight for me. The theatre kitchen venue was truly unique and added a special flair to the occasion.
A big thank you as well to Audrey Greminger, Director of Sales, for her gracious hospitality and for helping make the wedding weekend run so beautifully. And to Housekeeping — your work does not go unnoticed. The room was immaculate and serviced with care and consistency throughout my stay.
This hotel is a real gem. Everyone I encountered was friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in making my visit special. I’m so happy I made the trip — not just for the wedding, but for the chance to stay at such a remarkable place.
Thank you all for the unforgettable experience.
Warmest regards,
Richard

I really like this hotel, have stayed twice and will stay again. It's on the smaller side but has all the amenities I'm looking for; nice decor, places to hang in the lobby with my own wine if I want, a nice bar/restaurant, pool, small gym, a roof top bar and a couple of neighborhood restaurants and a coffee shop in walking distance (there is complimentary coffee in the lobby in the mornings). The rooms I've stayed in have been comfortable. Both stays so far, I've been on the front side of the building however road noise hasn't been an issue, just pull down the black out shade to block the sunrise. The beds are comfy and the bathroom has a great over sized shower. Toiletries are a bit minimal however that doesn't bother me. Nice mini bar for a price. No room fridge. Great proximity to Hyde Park and its shops and restaurants as well as Bay Shore Blvd. for a morning run or walk. About a five minute drive for those. The airport and downtown areas about 15 minutes, the beaches more like 40 + minutes. There's on site parking which is valet, not sure of the cost as I don't rent a car. It's across the street from the famed Bern's Steakhouse and there's a package you can book with the hotel to get a reservation at Bern's. They do weddings and business meetings however neither have been a bother for me. There is a tented space on the back side of the building for events with might be an issue for those rooms, something to maybe consider asking about at check in. Overall, it's been a great place for me.
