Don Vicente de Ybor Historic Inn

Fodor's Review:

Built as a home in 1895 by town founder Don Vicente de Ybor, this inn shows that the mainly working-class cigar city had an elegant side, too. From the beige stucco exterior to the white marble staircase in the main lobby, this boutique hotel is an architectural tour de force. Rooms have parquet floors, canopied beds, and private baths; most have wrought-iron balconies. Common areas have crystal chandeliers, Tiffany lamps, and Persian carpets. Pros: Elegant, rich in history, within walking distance of Ybor City's salsafied nightlife. Cons: Things can get a bit rowdy outside on weekend nights, though many of Ybor City's clubs have closed in recent times.
