The Epicurean Hotel, part of the Marriott Autograph Collection is a chic, modern, unique comfortable boutique hotel in sunny South Tampa, close to famous Bern steak restaurants in Tampa. The staff incl. valet was friendly, attentive and professional. At check-in you are also offered a glass of wine which was a nice touch and beats the chocolate cookie of the competition :). Rooms and bathrooms are clean and spacious. Water pressure is solid. AC works smoothly and quietly. Rooftop bar has gorgeous views over Tampa. Fitness center is well equipped. Overall a very solid stay, although price point is at the higher end of the spectrum of hotels in Tampa. Would return for another stay. Read less

I stayed in this hotel for one night on a reimbursed business trip. I would not spend my own money to stay here. It's upscale and funky, with interesting decor and complimentary wine at check-in.

I stayed in this hotel for one night on a reimbursed business trip. I would not spend my own money to stay here. It's upscale and funky, with interesting decor and complimentary wine at check-in. But they don't seem to have the basics quite right. Housekeeping rang my doorbell three times in the morning, beginning at 8:30, as they wanted to make up the room after I left. There was no Do Not Disturb sign to hang on the door. I mentioned this to the front desk at checkout, and the attendant told me there was actually a privacy button near the door. (I never saw it.) What is the use of having a noon checkout if you keep getting interrupted and feel like you're being rushed out? The luxury rainfall shower was so complicated that it required two sets of printed instructions in the bathroom. Meanwhile, water pressure in the bathroom sink was low, and the rooms are not well-insulated. I could hear doors slamming and voices in the hallway despite wearing earplugs. The location was good for walking around to find food and shopping. The adjacent ice cream store had a nice selection. Read less

We have stayed here several times over the years. We came for a one night staycation to enjoy dinner across the street at Berns Steakhouse. We have been going to Berns for over 40 years and as soon as The Epicurean opened it has been our choice to stay with them. The hotel is in the Hyde Park area of Tampa. They hold cooking events and classes in a room off their lobby. They also have win store off the lobby. There is a restaurant and bar on the property has great cocktails. The rooms are always clean and the beds are comfortable. When you check in you are offered a glass of wine which is a nice touch. There is a rooftop bar that opens at 5:00 pm that is pretty popular. The hotel has valet only parking for a reasonable price. It's a great choice when you are in the Tampa area. Read less

One of the great joys of travel is finding something special you don’t expect, and the Epicurean Hotel is one of those gems. We love Marriott properties, and this one is delightful. We came to Tampa to have dinner at Bern’s Steak House, and I picked this hotel because it’s across the street. The delights started before we arrived when they upgraded us to a junior suite using a Bonvoy Suite upgrade. I let the hotel know about our special occasion, and they had a bottle of champagne and a plate of hors d’oeuvres waiting in our room. The delights continued with the helpful Tori at check-in, continuing with the beautiful ambiance, and then learning about the artist's reception in the elevator. At the artist reception, we met the manager, Shawn. He hosted an excellent reception with champagne and more hors d’oeuvres, where we met the artist WI Ching Schroeder and the hotel's art coordinator. It was a lovely surprise before our reservation at Bern’s. We are very thankful for a great visit, and I hope you get to visit soon! Read less

I'm in the military and inquired about a long-term (6-month) stay. The management told me I'd have a microwave (didn't have one), and a mini fridge (didn't have one), and that I could self-park but still have to pay the $20 per day valet fee ($3600 for 6 months). So much for "we support the troops." I checked out after 3 days. Avoid this place… Read more
