Fodor's Expert Review Epicurean Hotel, Autograph Collection
1207 S. Howard Ave., Tampa, Florida, 33606, USA Fodor's Choice
Brought to you in part by the people behind Bern's Steak House across the street, this vibrant, cuisine-centric installment of Marriott's Autograph Collection hotels is an absolute must for foodies. Food and wine inspire everything—butcher-block tables line walls in the rooms, minibars are stocked with high-end snacks and beverages (mind the prices!), and guests can take part in world-class cooking and cocktail-making courses at the Epicurean Theatre. The Élevage restaurant serves classic dishes reimagined with a modern twist, and the Edge rooftop bar offers intelligent beverage options. Little Midway, an ice-cream parlor and pastry shop, and a wineshop courtesy of Bern's are also on site.
