Tampa Hotels On The Beach

Take a deep breath as warm bay waters circle your ankles. Let it out as the tide washes away. There is a soothing rhythm here—the sensation of letting go, of releasing your troubles, your thoughts, and your responsibilities. This is the rhythm of Tampa, Florida. As the sun sets over Florida’s west coast, another day closes awash in purple, orange, and deep tangerine. This is Florida’s way of cleaning the slate and refreshing the spirit, and it’s exquisite. If you seek a getaway of constant renewal, book one of our beachfront hotels in Tampa and let the tide work its magic.

Tampa Bay is home to some of the best beaches in the country, and not just within the city limits. To the west, Clearwater is picture-perfect and charming; to the south, St. Petersburg is brimming with arts and history in addition to seawater. Book one of our hotels on the beach in Tampa, FL or the surrounding areas and plan your great escape.

Where to Stay in Tampa

There are so many wonderful hotels in Tampa, Florida on the beach and a short drive from the shore. From family-size suites to luxury resorts and affordable express inns, you can choose the right accommodation for your travel style. Consider these guest favorites as you plan your getaway:

• Harborside Suites at Little Harbor: Get your fresh start among old-Tampa vibes. This lovely hotel looks out over the peaceful harbor, where you’ll see both boats and palm trees lined up along the docks. Each guest room is decorated in soft tones, and natural light filters in from each private balcony or patio. From here, you can walk to the E.G. Simmons Regional Park.
• Sailport Waterfront Suites: On the southwest side of Tampa, in secluded Rocky Point, this hotel is truly a great escape within easy reach of the Upper Tampa Bay Trail. Explore the great outdoors and come back to your suite to prepare a fresh Floridian meal in your fully equipped kitchen, or lounge by the outdoor pool.
• Country Inn & Suites: You don’t need to stay right on the waterfront to enjoy this beachside city. This affordable inn offers complimentary hot breakfast, pool and fitness center access, and 24-hour business center services. You’re just a few miles from Eureka Springs Regional Park, so enjoy some hiking before a day at the beach.
• Ramada Temple: Your body is a temple, and this hotel understands how important simplicity, comfort, and peace and quiet are to maintaining your inner sanctum. Pillowtop beds and an outdoor pool will help you find your Zen, as will long walks at Lettuce Lake Park.

Spend Your Days in the Bay

Believe it or not, dear traveler, there is more to do in Tampa than soak up the sun and lounge on the sand, but more on those later. In your pursuit of clearing your mind of the old and enriching your experiences with something new, discover the nuances of Tampa’s multicultural heritage at Wat Mongkolrata, a Buddhist temple and marketplace where Thai traditions stay alive through meditation and festivals.

In the same city, where the Thai Songkarn Festival fills the streets with flowers and fragrant water, the historic neighborhood of Ybor City is bright with Latin history, cuisine, and plenty of stories. This is the place to be when you crave the perfect pairing of fine dining and dancing. Stay in one of our Tampa beach hotels and venture just 7 miles from the coast to Historic Ybor City. This district is a haven for art lovers, students, and the LGBTQ community, and the revelry is fueled by Cuban sandwiches and savory seafood.

Now, about that coastline…when you stay in one of our Tampa beachfront hotels, you’ll be within steps of warm Atlantic waters and exquisite amenities. Plus, your moment of rejuvenation can be every moment. On the west side of the city, Cypress Point Park is a lovely beach oasis near downtown, where city meets the sea. Across the bay—we know the horizon is pulling you like the tide—Clearwater Beach is an expansive stretch of sand with crystal water and lots of low-key activities, like volleyball and swimming.

Already feeling revived? With Travelocity’s price-matching promise, planning a great getaway is easy and even relaxing, because you’ll find the best travel deals all in one place, or we’ll refund the difference. Book one of our Tampa hotels on the beach today and enjoy a fresh start.
