Tampa Hotel Shuttles

A renowned hotspot perfect for guests interested in looking forward to waterfront museums and a vibrant blend of Cuban/Spanish colonial influences, visitors of Tampa have a wide variety of getaways perfect getting to know the colorful culture of South Tampa. Public transportation is limited to the city’s TECO Line Streetcar System, which runs through various downtown neighborhoods like Channelside, Ybor City and Harbour Island. Avoid the crowd by booking a personal ride instead, discovering various waterfront beaches and historic piers with private rentals like sedans, vans and SUVs perfect for getting a look at sunrise from Hillsborough Bay as well as sunsets along Old Tampa Bay, not to mention meet-and-greet services like stretched limousines and taxis perfect for getting convenient drop offs to busy locales like Tampa International Airport and Tampa Convention Center.

Once transportation is taken care of, know mornings will be as easy as nights with the right hotel to look forward to, those interested in staying close to downtown’s Tampa Convention Center considering luxurious all-inclusive resorts like The Westin Tampa Waterside and Hilton Tampa Downtown, or go for relaxed access to the riverwalk and various parks via the minimalist but chic ambiance of Aloft Tampa Downtown. In contrast, low-cost hangouts are available through choices like Gram’s Place Hostel, located on the far north side of town and offering quiet suburban hangouts, while the stylish boutique & spa digs of Tahitian Inn provide often overseen access to South Tampa’s many beaches. And last but not least, airport stays are plentiful and popular due to Tampa International’s distant access from the city, popular options being the waterfront beauty of Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay as well as Tampa Marriott Westshore’s close access to International Plaza’s upscale shops.

When it comes to having fun in a city covered in everglade beauty, finding something fun to do is as easy as hopping on the expressway. Remember to bring a bag of quarters for the toll roads while traversing through South Tampa’s many natural recreation areas that include historic piers jutting out to Hillsborough Bay and the boisterous white-sand fishing spots of Cypress Point Park. Continue south to reach the silent sit downs of Picnic Island Kayak Launch as well, ideal spot for lovers of traversing and home to the prettiest route to Weedon Island Preserve across the waters of Old Tampa Bay. On the far north end rest just as lush surroundings at Lower Hillsborough Nature Preserve and its neighboring Lettuce Lake Park, not to mention museums and theme parks surrounding the adjacent University of South Florida, from the rides at Busch Gardens to the slides at Adventure Island.
