Hyatt Place Tampa Busch Gardens Hotel Shuttles

An especially popular choice for families looking to stay close to the University of South Florida and Busch Gardens while simultaneously keeping away from the annual chaos of spring break, low-key guests can easily find what they are looking for at Hyatt Place Tampa/Busch Gardens. An all-suite choice offers modern rooms that include cozy same-room seating areas and floating desks, in addition to cool-tone accents that bode well with an overall earth-shaded carpet. Free Wi-Fi and mini-fridges are also added as a luxury, as are complimentary shuttles to nearby theme parks and the USF campus. Without adequate public transportation, guests are expected to make their own vehicle arrangements for seeing anything beyond the closest landmarks, choosing between sedan, SUV and chartered bus rentals for seeing lush everglade outskirts or going with relaxed meet-and-greet services that include quaint taxis and luxe limousines ideal for simple drop offs to Tampa International Airport.

Alongside more than comfy rooms are countless attractions resting in the surrounding campus of The University of South Florida, the closest entry point being the lush USF Botanical Gardens and its tranquil views of Lake Behnke, with connected paths moving toward Simmons Park, MLK Plaza and the USF Contemporary Art Museum’s bright showcase of local and international artists. And of course, an array of outdoor adventures can be had at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay as well as its many roller coasters and water slides. For something angled toward indoor fun, hang out at the super close University Mall, home to expected shops as well as a select Dillard’s Clearance Center. Grab a bite to eat from a few nearby restaurants afterward, either enjoying lunch at the famous Portillo’s Hot Dogs down the street from the mall or staying safe with nearby drinks and pub grub at World of Beer’s walking-distance from the hotel.
