Le Meridien Tampa Hotel Shuttles

A deluxe locale set in Tampa’s North Florida Avenue, Le Méridien Tampa is an upscale choice perfect for getting to know the bayside’s walkable downtown. Classy rooms offer vivid modern decor with textile accents along the walls and carpets, select suites adding an interesting geometric-themed space fully adorned with mid-century living areas in welcoming cool tones. Available on-site is a French bistro and bar that make it easy to delve into the local networking scene, while a large outdoor pool and fun fitness room throw in some complimentary exfoliation. Without close access to an already lacking public transportation system, private rentals are a must for getting around the city - choose between a sedan, van or SUV to see distant horizons with total freedom, or go with the luxury of a meet-and-greet service to stay safe amidst celebrations via taxis, local personal drivers or even luxury limousines.

Get lost in the vibrancy of the city with a quick tour around the block, considering late-night concerts at The Vault just across the street as much as afternoon exhibits about local law enforcement from the city-funded Tampa Police Museum a few blocks south. For something a little less bias, go on a free-range tour of the Tampa Riverwalk, following the flow of the Hillsborough toward interesting green spaces like Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park and its neighboring photo works showcased at the astounding Florida Museum of Photographic Arts. Get a view of the water from a bright perspective at dusk as well, choosing between the Old Steel Railroad Bridges western move toward The University of Tampa as well as a handful of scenic waterside restaurants that include an Italian-centric menu at Malio’s and an upscale theater-centric ambiance at Maestro’s, the latter located within the pristine halls of the David Straz Center for the Performing Arts.
