One of our favorite parts of Water Street Tampa is its walkability. No matter where you start, you’re never far from shopping, restaurants, beautiful greenspaces, and excellent entertainment options.

Whether you’re looking for a staycation or you want to show off your city to visitors, the urban community’s waterfront location also offers the largest collection of hotel rooms in the Tampa Bay area.

Here are our top picks for living the suite life in Tampa:

  • The Tampa EDITION — Foodie fanatics will love Lilac, the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant... and everyone will love the five-star experience.
  • JW Marriott Tampa Water Street — Unwind at the spa or grab a drink and a breathtaking skyline view at Beacon, Tampa’s highest rooftop bar.
  • ROOST Tampa — Offering extended-stay, fully-furnished apartments and dedicated co-working spaces, this full-service option can be your comfy home base as long as you need.
  • Tampa Marriott Water Street — Stay right on the Riverwalk and enjoy delicious seafood dining + stunning ocean views.
