We've long been fans of the Epicurean Hotel, a 137-room boutique property in Tampa’s trendy South Howard (SoHo) district. This cozy spot, located steps from a bevy of great restaurants and bars, features a state-of-the-art culinary classroom, spa, custom Electra bikes for rent, rooftop lounge and an onsite restaurant, Élevage, which features comfort foods with haughty twists created by James Beard Semi-Finalist, Executive Chef Chad Johnson.

The Epicurean Hotel recently announced Fl Resident summer rates at a 20% discount off the best available rate, which means you can spend the night in the $139-159 rate range.
