Aloft Tampa Downtown Hotel Shuttles

A modest business stay looking out at the flow of Tampa’s Hillsborough River, the modern vibrancy of Aloft Tampa Downtown provides an array of quaint lookouts ideal for getting to know the city’s nightlife. Smartly designed rooms offer separate sleeping and living areas divided by a central restroom, while elevated suites add personal access to a busy urban balcony. Also available is a large outdoor pool and social sundeck, not to mention a 24-hour fitness room & coffee bar. Free Wi-Fi is also thrown in as a perk for business travelers, while nearby access to the TECO Streetcar System is accessible via the nearby Downtown Station. With limited stops and slow schedules, guests are recommended to avoid public transportation with the freedom of a private vehicle rental, whether it be a simple sedan great for low-key transfers or a spacious chartered bus for getting around town. Meet-and-greet services also make the day simple through drop offs, either to the events of Tampa Convention Center with a stretched limousine or Tampa International Airport via taxi.

Get to know what’s close with a quick walk along the adjacent Tampa Riverwalk, whether that means moving toward the vivid images at The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts or watching the passerby from the landscaped lawns of MacDill Park. Available at MacDill is the Coast Bike Share, a great tourist meeting point for big groups looking to spread out. Other cool riverside landmarks can be found at The University of Tampa, located across the water and home to a vast collection of European art influences at The Henry B. Plant Museum, plus views of MacDonald Kelce Library’s historic architecture. For a dinner to remember, keep along the very festive North Tampa Street, home to an array of artsy hotspots that include busy dance parties at The Urban Cantina as well as house-made calzones courtesy of Eddie and Sam’s NY Pizza, or for something with a bit more care drive north toward Ulele for beloved Native American-Floridian fusion.
