Great staff Not super close to anything but clean and a good value
Friendly staff close to lots of bars and restaurants. Easy check in and valet service.
Tampa the right way
We had a wonderful time, valet very prompt. We ate in the restaurant twice, which was very good. Easy to get around. I would go back again.
Great location
I thought this would be a cute boutiquey hotel. Room looked like a depressing superficial redo. Restaurant was ok but staff at the restaurant were very nice and attentive.
All in all it’s a beautiful hotel. We had booked a 2 night stay in the Executive Suite which are all in a building across the street so you are disconnected from the main hotel. To go to the bar, restaurant or other facilities you had to cross the street My main problem was that the building seemed unfinished. In the small little lobby by the elevators was a big dehydrator running with cables running over the floor, which seemed pretty unsafe. No place to sit , no pictures on the wall, no decorations whatsoever. The suite was nice and spacious but again it looked unfinished and it seemed the layout of the furniture was badly planned or the furniture was ordered and didn’t fit the way they had planned. There was a lounge chair in the bedroom which obviously belonged to the sectional in the living area. The lunch chair was in front of the window which made it very difficult , almost impossible, to lower the shades. At the end of the lounge chair was a midsized table which we had to move out of the way in order to get to the closet. There was one picture over the left side of the bed which was a bit awkward. Not sure if the picture over the right side of the bed was missing? Just very strange to look at. Our toilet was not flushing at times and we had to call for maintenance twice. Some of the grout between the floor and the wall tiles was missing. Seriously a bad tile job. No table or chairs for room service dining. For $ 700 a night I would expect a little more perfection.
Nice welcome
Hotel staff is very friendly. Hotel is clean. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.
Excellent!
It was amazing! Best hotel experience we’ve had in the last 5 years. Just an impeccable lobby, bar, restaurant, room… bravo!!!
Great location for Berns
Berns steak house trip
From the time we pulled into the vallet the service was very good. We walked in and got our room, and they gave us a glass of wine that hit the spot after a 3-hour drive. We went to the Berns steak house across the street and had the best dinner experience. Before going to dinner went to the hotel bar and the bartender was awesome and very friendly.
Good spot. Street noise can be loud depending on room. Definitely get Howard side if possible
Loved the ambiance. Staff very friendly. Good location
The hotel was pretty good. I did not appreciate housekeeping coming to knock at my door before 8am though. The price for 1 drink at $20.00 is very expsensive.
Great
Staff was absolutely top notch. Noise from the interstate was really loud
Always a pleasure
When we are in Tampa we always stay at the Epicurean. From the welcome glass of wine to the comfortable room, we are always happy.
I have stayed here several times. Everything about this hotel is simply perfect.
Our stay was outstanding! Ingrid did our checkin and provided excellent suggestions for places to visit while we are in the area. We were advised on hotels. Com that the valet parking was free but ended up being charged $20 for it so that should be corrected on the site.
I got the most expensive suite in one of the most expensive hotels in Tampa and my television didn’t work. Asked to be moved and they did not move me. The staff seems completely frustrated and overwhelmed & acted like I was bothering them. Check in was a joke. Very rude.
Excellent location friendly staff ,plethora of dining options
Beautiful hotel and a pleasure to stay, if you are not used to Tampa, the hotel is in a nice area with Hyde Park Village just 10 minute walk away with shops, dining and coffee. Staff super friendly, nice pool area and great amenities. Sad to leave but I will be back.
The hotel is great…tons of dining options…if staying ask for a room away from the Selman…can get noisy!
Love this property
Nice hotel
Wonderful property
Property was lovely the bed was amazing
gorgeous facilities... massage was incredible and ice cream parlor was a bonus
We liked everything about this property. Clean, comfortable and great location.
Great overall
Fantastic property great service
One of the best hotels I have stayed in
The room ac made a rattling noise, we had a sound machine to cover it up but would have requested another room. Also got no housekeeping our first day, even though we put the sign on at 10:30am. We also were supposed to receive a free breakfast that was charged to our room. The new building has no atmosphere like the original so was rather generic overalll. Also the rooftop bar was closed. We have stayed before and it was excellent. Not so much this time.
Staff are amazing ! Darren and Maya were both very helpful and welcoming. Location of hotel close to shoreline is wonderful. Beautiful hotel So happy with our stay
Excellent, unique property. Will definitely go back
All went well.
The area of the hotel was great as was the lobbed and the staff. The rooms are very average not really an autograph styled room. The room and bathroom were very clean but need an upgrade.
Nice hotel, good restaurant on property. Close proximity to other great restaurants, clean, comfortable. Bed was a bit firm for me but otherwise wonderful stay
I loved everything about this hotel. Especially the shower! BUT the pillows were too fat.
Loved the epicurean!
Beautiful hotel. Great location. Walking distance to Hyde park but not super close. It’s about a mile away. Staff is excellent. I was really impressed with the housekeeping services. It seems like every hotel that we have stayed in post covid waits all day to make up the room and frequently we get back after a full day out and the room still isn’t cleaned. That’s a total pet peeve of mine. However, this did not happen at the epicurean! Housekeeping made up the room right away in the morning and it was so nice to come back to a clean and organized room!! Nice stay overall.
Wonderful
Arrived at the hotel waited on valet service, no assistance with luggage and service was poor our entire week stay. Downstairs restaurant service was excellent even if the food wasn’t ( don’t need a pound of sugar in every dish) except for wings (best we’ve had). Upstairs restaurant service was extremely poor except for female employee who seemed to be the only person working out of 3. We ended our evening there 3 separate nights. Food selection was very limited even though everything came up from lower restaurant. A couple of evenings the weather was on the chilly side but we were never asked if we wanted the overhead heaters on ( I guess they were to busy talking to their friends and hitting on the single girls at the bar). Room was nice but there is limited dresser space to unpack ( basically forced to live out of suitcases). Shower is awesome and provided toiletries are very nice. Make sure to check your bill as I was charged for items I had prepaid for. Overall a nice hotel but recommend eating elsewhere and make sure you leave extra time for valet service and handling your own luggage.
Place was kept up and in great condition pool was warm staff is super friendly
Date getaway with hubby
Easy check-in, complimentary glass of wine at check-in. Went down and had some truffle fries at the bar, they were delicious. Room spacious, clean and bed was very comfortable. The only thing I didn't like was our room was next to the main road, I kept hearing loud trucks all night, woke me up a couple times. We wanted to stay here, we had made late reservations at berns steakhouse, it is across the street. This was so nice to just walk across the street and walk back.
Tampa/Hyde Park
Great hotel with excellent restaurant and very fast valet service ($20 per day). Very accommodating front desk staff. Will be back!!
The property is beautiful and the rooms were very updated and clean. The restaurant and bars were great. Everything was conveniently located.
Awesome
We really like this property! Great food, super easy to check in, self park or valet. We walked to several businesses in the area. Very safe
Little touches like the complimentary glass of wine at check-in elevate this boutique inn.
Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was amazing. I stayed at hard rock 3 weeks ago and had a miserable time for more money than i spent on 3 extra nights at the Epicurean. I will absolutely be coming back and i've already recommended it to quite a few people. Awesome place to stay.
Great hotel at a great price!
My husband & I went for our anniversary it was so beautiful and unique.. Everything is so conveniently placed.. Room Service🌟Pool 🌟 Restaurants🌟Wine & Spiritz🌟.. Highly Recommend for a Staycation..
Great Location.
The bathroom and walk-in shower was very nice and modern. The Rooftop Lounge made good drinks and was comfortable. The only negative, the room was pricey.
Great experience!!
This hotel is amazing, everything about it is top notch.
Excellent
Beautiful inside and out, clean and quiet. Perfect place for my wife and I’s anniversary!
Elegant hotel, great staff.
Property was great, staff was excellent and friendly. Only downfall was the hallways were so hot. Somebody did explain to us that they were exchanging the a/c some a/c units. Other than that we will be back!!!
Great stay, we will be back!
The staff were very attentive, professional and friendly. The room and overall hotel were clean looked great. The only thing we noticed that felt ‘off’ was that the hallway and elevator lobby on our floor was hot.
Great concept
great customer service
Great stay and breakfast.
We had a wonderful stay. Front desk person was very nice and welcoming. Waiter at breakfast was excellent. I cant remember his name but he was a younger man with great energy. The bartenders were also very nice.
Noise starts at 7 am through windows. no dark curtains, and limited facilities for family. Cleanliness and staff are awesome.
Great hotel! Lovely stay
We loved the pool, the restaurant, and the gym! The valets really hustled to get our car whenever we had to leave. On the down side, the coffee situation was non-epicurian, forcing us to go off campus to find a decent espresso. We went to the Blind Tiger down the street. All in all great place, please get better coffee!
While the hotel was clean and nice looking, there are several things you need to know. First, I don't know why hotels use barn doors for bathrooms. They don't keep light and sound inside the bathroom and are noisy to use. Not great if trying not to disturb anyone in the room in the middle of the night. Next, the bathroom has a frosted glass "window" that faces into the rest of the room. Again, this does not keep light in the bathroom. If you don't want to wake your guests, you need to use the restroom in the dark. Not fun. Also, not sure if this applies to all rooms, but our bed did not use fitted sheets. I woke up every morning laying directly on a portion of the mattress with the sheets pushed off to the side. If you're like me, you never want to lay directly on a hotel mattress. I was disappointed to have this type of experience at a quality hotel. Perhaps your experience will differ, but for these reasons, I would not recommend a stay at the Epicurean.
Second trip to Tampa in the last two weeks. We chose this hotel for an overnight stay. Wow! Floored from the get go. Great vibe, friendly staff. Room was amazing! Great location near lots of cool restaurants. We fell in love with Tampa this visit. The Soho area is phenomenal. Our only complaint would be the mini bar had a fridge that wasn't cold at all. We brought our own drinks for the drive down and back but they didn't get cool at all unfortunately. Other than that, great stay. There is construction going on across the street, and cars can be heard on nearby highway but it was not that bad at night.
Super cute property. Restaurant was great too. Nice location. The only thing that I didn’t really love was the beds- not as comfy as other places but overall I would recommend this hotel.
Completely impressed, upon arrival greeting us with wine. The ambience is delightful and staff were pleasant. I will stay here again.
EXCELLENT
Trendy. Not a place I’d stay with children, but great for a couple.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
The Epicurean Hotel is a modest looking hotel with many hidden features that make this understated hotel a wonderful destination. Christine, at the front desk, was extremely helpful when I arrived. She was warm and friendly making the stay start off very well. I booked a deluxe king room with terrace. The room was a bit small, and the terrace was not private, but it did not take away any of the tranquility and comfort of the room. ULTRA CLEAN ROOM AND BED! ULTRA COMFORTABLE BED AND PILLOWS. EXCELLENT SHOWER! The maids work very hard, and it shows in their cleanliness. The room service was fast and perfect as ordered. The valet service had many attendants, and they were also very hard working. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND WOULD GO BACK! CONSIDERING I USUALLY STAY AT THE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL WHEREVER I GO ( TAMPA DOES NOT HAVE ONE) THAT SAYS A LOT WITH A MORE ECONOMICAL OPTION
Staff was exceptional from arrival to check out offering assistance and recommendations. Our dinner insight was exquisite! Can’t wait to go back and stay longer next time! The room and patio seating in our deuce room and the shower so enjoyable!
Disappointing given the price
I was expecting more out of this hotel, quite honestly. On the plus side, I found the staff uniformly pleasant and professional. No issues there. And the hotel and room are quite clean and well cared-for. The room, however, was nothing special, especially considering the premium price. The downstairs bar looks nice but the service was quite slow. The rooftop bar is, in my opinion, pretty shabby-looking for what is supposed to be a boutique property. But most disappointing of all is the noise level in the hotel. Our room faced Howard Avenue, which isn't that busy at this end but was quite loud. But the thing that really bothered me was the noise from the hallways and adjoining rooms. There must be almost no insulation in the hotel because one can hear even low-level conversation clearly from the hallways and adjoining rooms. I would much rather spend the extra money to stay at the JW Marriott because at least there I feel like my money is well spend.
Only a 1 night stay but staff, property and cleanliness all 1st class .
This is a really great property that’s fun for foodies and those who like to have a drink or three. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. There were some technical issues in the garage but they resolved them as soon as they could. It was a bit overpriced, but it was also clearly a popular spot. Great restaurants and liquor store on property, and walking distance to great spots and the bay walk.
Fantastic from start to finish
It was an amazing stay from start to finish - from check in to check out. We loved the complementary wine at check in to dinner across the street at Bern’s which was spectacular
Amazing place, very nice
Nice staff
Everything was great.
Terrible customer service experience, hotel personnel are not helpful at all, would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone. Very disappointed
Amazing place although proximity to the highway might be troublesome for very light sleepers. Great gym and pool. Rooftop bar and great restaurant as well as a vibrant Hyde Park surrounding area. Amazing restaurants anchored by the granddaddy of them: Berns Steakhouse. Bern’s even has a top notch wine store in the lobby.
Great hotel

Wish I had more time there. I was very busy with family the entire 24 hours I was there. Didn’t have a lot of time to enjoy the festivities.
Excellent
Nice hotel, the room was nice, bed comfortable and the service was great!
The food was great. Staff neglected to inform me for a weekend stay that there’s be no breakfast service on the weekend. The pool was unattended, with no towels and Needed cleaning.
The wine cellar/store on site was very nice. The construction noise all day was very unpleasant, no view except a building under construction, and this defeated the purpose of paying extra for a suite with a balcony.
So clean. We loved the chill atmosphere. Food was delicious. Staff very courteous.
Very nice
The epicurean was delightful in every respect. The property is first-rate and the service was excellent. The only disappointment was the lunch menu, but I understand that their new chef will be revising their restaurant menu shortly.
beautiful
Beautiful urban artsy hotel, spacious room, super friendly staff
Nice property and great staff. Elevage has great food and the property is right next to Berns Steakhouse. The Rain Shower in the room is first rate. Surrounding guests were loud at night though with a lot of banging (walls seem thin or they were just overly loud). Not a lot to do in the immediate area. Overall, a very nice property.
Our stay at the Epicurean was nothing short of excellent. Staff was amazing and please protect Chill Bros at all cost lol!
“Off a freeway and streets with poor insulation.” Given floor 3 due to roof top bar on 4th that goes on till very late at night. Room was next to a street and I could hear motorcycles and cars all night long due to very poor insulation. The other end of the hotel is off of a freeway. Pillows go flat after 5 minutes and need to be replaced. Hotel restaurant was below average. The hostess looked sad, disinterested and never smiled. Toast was cold, coffee was miserable. Nothing special about over easy eggs. Look for restaurants in Hyde park about 5 minutes by car. Valet parking after 7pm. The hotel itself is classy looking. Rooms a clean and shower is great.
Within walking distance of a great area for restaurants and shopping. Excellent guest service from the front desk, terrific wine shop on premise.
