Guest Reviews
- Sharon (10/5): -
- Anel (10/5): A pleasant stay in a great location - Great hotel location, just a 10–15 minute walk to the riverwalk. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean, with very high ceilings. An extra bed was provided for a small additional fee. None
- Ruiz (10/5): Would love to go back! - High ceilings, complimentary mimosas, amazing breakfast, superb staff! A little pricey but I think it was due to all the simultaneous events occurring during my stay on the weekend of April 24th.
- Tanesha (10/5): Excellent. - Fantastic! Everything was clean. The location was perfect for getting to Raymond James Stadium. Everyone from the valet to the custodians were polite.
- coby (4/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): -
- donellk2026 (2/5): If You Care About Your Car, Read This - If you have a nice vehicle, think twice before using valet at Le Méridien Tampa, The Courthouse. I watched them rev my truck from my hotel room for no reason. I stay in Tampa often and usually have zero issues with valet, which is why this stood out. I'm also a Marriot Bonvey Elite member, and frequent their high end hotels all over. My truck was moved multiple times during my stay and I didn't have a single issue. The last time was different. My room faced the front of the hotel, so my fiancée and I clearly watched them bring it up revving it unnecessarily. Not a quick tap. They were on it. I went downstairs and told the front desk manager first. He pretty much looked at me and did nothing. No urgency, no concern. So at that point I addressed it myself. The valet driver kept saying "that thing's loud man" over and over, which didn't make sense. The truck is only loud on startup or if you're actually getting on it, which is exactly the issue here. I never threatened anyone. I asked what I'm supposed to do in a situation like that after being given multiple different explanations. Them claiming I "physically threatened staff". What actually happened is the valet driver followed me back into the hotel demanding my keys, escalating things for no reason. I spoke with both the valet manager and hotel manager after that. They removed the valet fee and let me self park, which told me they knew something wasn't right. Shortly after that, I got a call saying I needed to leave the property. I had no issue with that and moved on. What doesn't sit right is how this was handled and then misrepresented publicly instead of just owning it. My fiancée watched the entire situation from above, and from our perspective, the way things escalated felt off. As an African American couple addressing our property being disrespected, it quickly turned into us being labeled as the problem while dealing with a Caucasian valet driver and management. Whether intentional or not, that's how it came across to us. To make it even clearer, another guest who witnessed the situation told me the way they were driving my truck was "crazy" and said he would've been heated too. I left and stayed at JW Marriott Tampa Water Street and had zero issues. Valet was smooth, professional, no games. For context, I normally stay at places like The Tampa EDITION and Epicurean Hotel and have never experienced anything like this. At the end of the day, mistakes happen. How you handle them matters. This wasn't handled right. If you care about your vehicle or expect a certain level of professionalism, I wouldn't trust valet here.
- Red_Dolphin-Media (8/5): Great Stay! - I lived in Tampa for years and had to move away but recently returned for one night before a flight out. I chose to try Le Meridien and was so happy. They upgraded me a really nice Deluxe Room overlooking the bank steps and the interior is fascinating to explore. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom very large, and I love the desk with the fancy swivel chair. I highly recommend this property!
- paulrZ6650YH (10/5): Incredible Stay - Le Méridien Tampa was phenomenal from start to finish. The property itself is beautiful and full of character, and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into creating a really unique experience. The rooms were stylish, comfortable, and extremely well maintained, making it easy to relax and enjoy the stay. The restaurant was also fantastic. The food was excellent, the presentation was great, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. It was one of those places where you actually want to linger and enjoy the atmosphere. What really stood out was the overall attention to detail throughout the hotel. The staff was welcoming, the property was spotless, and everything felt polished and professional. It’s rare to find a place that gets so many things right, but Le Méridien Tampa definitely does. I’m already looking forward to my next stay. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Tampa.
- SAEED (1/5): -
- Musab (2/5): Le Méridien, Le Nomore - The hotel was selected for the good ratings and the images that were posted, which were misleading, and on top of that they called it Le Méridien :| Location, the hassle of retrieving the car by the staff, the old floor tiles that looks dirty, and the overworked elevator.
- Alexandra (6/5): Overall, it was pleasant but I'm not sure I would return. - I loved the historical aspect of the building. The staff was also very friendly. I did not like the weird and random looking attic type latch above the shower. It crept me out ... I also did not like the fact there were no robes in the rooms, coffee machine or additional blanket.
- Nima (9/5): -
- angelalQ7465SO (8/5): Court is in session - Good choice for a comfortable stay in Tampa. Loved the hot chocolate and holiday treats in the lobby. That was a welcomed December surprise.
- franklM5288LC (2/5): Terrible service, overbooked and must have one person cleaning rooms - Terrible service. We came here with a group and four of us had to wait over 3 hours for our rooms. Two of us are still waiting and they won’t give us updates
- T807MTchristinab (10/5): Fantastic venue and staff - We hosted our annual law school barristers ball at the courthouse and it was an excellent experience start to finish. Heather, our coordinator was a pleasure to work with, super attentive and helpful from start to finish, walked me through the entire process and was available whenever I needed her. Her staff a the hotel (Sam, Ivan, Diego and Masha) was also incredible! On the day of our event when stress was high and pressure was on, they accommodated my every need, worked with my crew to set up the event down to every single detail, and made sure every last minute request was met. Not to mention the historical atmosphere of being in the actual judges chambers and staying in a gorgeous hotel to end the night. Absolutely 10/10. I can’t thank everyone enough for making our students and faculties experience more perfect!
- Jessica (6/5): - The staff was very friendly and helpful. It wasn't very family friendly. There was also a weird sulfuric smell when we were going to bed.
- Eduardo (8/5): -
- RABwanderer (2/5): Arrogant staff and poor management - This was by far the absolute worst hotel experience I’ve ever had! My friend and I were super excited for a girls night getaway and chose le Méridien because of its location to a concert we were attending. We figured, ‘treat ourselves’ right? …we should have just chosen to drive home to Orlando. The room was fine and we had a decent check in. When we got back to the room around 1a that’s when it all went downhill. We got back to our room and within minutes noted the fire alarm battery was chirping. We called the front desk and were told someone from security would come check it out. Security came in, called the front desk and told them we need another room, the alarm system mind you is at the top of a 15-20ft ceiling. Apparently, that was a no go, they were ‘sold out’. He proceeds to come back with a 5ft ladder (remember the ceiling height?) After I carried it in the room and set it up (poor dude had prob never been on a ladder in his life), he tried to then climb up the ladder on the wrong side. We got him on the right side and to our shock… he couldn’t reach. At this point, it’s 2am, security leaves and is no where to be found and the bit at the front desk is now giving US attitude for having the audacity to call again about a situation they still haven’t fixed. We pressure her for another room, a different hotel, anything so we can get a little sleep before heading home. She finally gives in and says there’s one room, but we have to wait until 3:30a to swap and be sure the guests don’t show up. She says she’ll call us in an hour, we’ll get some earplugs and we come to the agreement, we’re not paying for our stay. One set of earplugs gets delivered to the room… that’s all they had… We slam a bottle of wine, carb out on pizza and manage to pass out for a few hours. Fast forward to the next morning, no call to change rooms… By 7a we’re ready to get the hell out. Upon checking out, the manager wanted to argue with us about our stay. We were told our room would be ‘discounted’ and that we never returned at 3:30a to get a new room key… NOPE! Nobody called us… they also swapped their story around about 4 times… So after causing a delightful little scene in the lobby our room was finally comped. This staff lies, cheats and tries to manipulate its guests… don’t fall for it. So much for 4-star Marriott service…
- tinajX8143VI (10/5): A Seamless Event Thanks to Le Méridien Tampa's Team - The catering and events team at Le Méridien Tampa is absolutely wonderful. As the catering sales manager, Heather DiGiulio was a dream to work with, demonstrating thoughtfulness and attentiveness that made my job effortless. Our banquet captains, Ivan Ropov and Sam Choukri, were equally impressive, always available and ready to assist with anything we needed. Their combined effort ensured our event ran flawlessly. They were constantly available and proactive, ensuring every last detail was taken care of. This level of professionalism and care made our event a complete success."
- AmaJama (10/5): Hotel with rich history - We stayed at this beautifully decorated hotel in a landmark historic building. The manager on duty Gabriel greeted us and answered all of our questions, offering us a rich history of the building. The lead valet was exceptionally helpful in giving us directions. We loved the courtesy tickets to the art museum and other perks. Would definitely stay here again!
- Shirin (6/5): - My birthday was ruined at Le Méridien Tampa. I booked a weekend stay expecting a relaxing experience, but it turned into one of the most disappointing hotel stays I’ve ever had. I left my room for over 5 hours assuming housekeeping would clean it — yet it was never serviced, even after multiple complaints and promises from the front desk. Management Antonio, showed no apology, no urgency, and no effort to fix it. Absolutely unacceptable for a so-called luxury hotel.
- Lorrie (10/5): - The staff, the restaurants, location, clean rooms Just great
- Hiroshi (10/5): - The staff was very accommodating!
- Chris (10/5): - Parking is a little confusing for people not from the area, but otherwise - a great stay!
- Carolyn (9/5): - Clean and convenient. No significant late check outs
- Jessica (10/5): - Friendly staff.
- Rachael (2/5): Unhelpful, rude staff - Where do I even start?! First, know that none of your hotels.com perks will be honored. No potential for an upgrade and they wanted to ignore the platinum free breakfast perk. As far as the actual stay? Woof, that’s a saga. We got back to our room around 1am after attending a concert. We immediately noticed the battery on the fire alarm was chirping every 90 seconds at an alarmingly loud and piercing volume. We alerted the front desk and they sent up a ‘security guard’ to check it out. This guy was all of 25, heard the chirp and called the desk back stating we needed a new room. Not an option. He comes back about 10 minutes later with a 5ft ladder to fix the problem. Mind you, he’s not much taller than myself (5’5) and the ceilings are about 15ft. He proceeds to ‘set up’ the ladder (I had to lock it in place for him) and attempts to climb the wrong side. I corrected him before he could hurt himself. He, visibly not a fan of ladders or heights, gets to the third step before he realizes this ladder isn’t big enough. He says there’s another ladder but it’s too big to move and says he’ll be back in touch. I took the time to close the ladder back up, as he’d clearly never operated one. Meanwhile, the front desk tells us they’re at 100% capacity and there’s one room that’s booked that they can’t give up until 2:30-3a. We ask for ear plugs, 1 set of earplugs were brought to the room not 2. Never got a call for a new room and wanted to fight a refund after no sleep. Stay away.
- Ana (10/5): Extremely friendly staff and very clean! - Extremely friendly staff and very clean! The hotel is so quaint with its historical pieces. The halls look just like the court house but the rooms are modern, spacious, and clean. The restaurant has amazing food, the bar has amazing drinks, and the cafe had amazing coffee! Overall 10/10
- Yobany (10/5): Beautiful hotel - Staff were incredibly friendly, hotel was so cleaned and deco was very modern.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Staff was helpful and friendly. Hotel was clean and in a great location.
- Amanda (10/5): - The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and attentive! Room was very clean. The restaurant was top notch!
- L1596HFalexf (2/5): **Do Not Stay in Room 215 — Management Is Aware of the Problem and Still Books It** - I was checked into Room 215, which the front desk referred to as an “upgrade” due to its corner location. In reality, it was anything but. This room faces a *bright, flashing street lamp* just outside the window. Despite having blackout shades, the light pulsed through all night, making the room feel like a nightclub. After an hour of trying to sleep through it, I gave up and asked to be moved. At that point, I was told by the front desk that this is a **known issue**—in fact, several other guests had complained about the same problem just within the past week. The fact that the hotel continues to place guests in this room (and others like it, ending in “15”) is baffling and unacceptable. What made this especially frustrating was the timing. I had just come off a full day of travel and work, and all I wanted was to rest. Instead, past midnight, I had to pack up *everything*—laptop, toiletries, suitcase, and personal items—and relocate to another room. It was disruptive, exhausting, and completely avoidable had management simply taken this room out of circulation until the issue was resolved. The next morning, I realized I had left an item of clothing in the first room. When managers Chris and Justin helped retrieve it, they barely offered an apology for the inconvenience. At checkout, I asked if any compensation would be offered and was told to follow up with them directly. I did, and Justin offered 5,000 Marriott points—an unreasonably low gesture given the disruption and the price point of this hotel. When I pushed back, he said he’d get back to me. I never heard from him again. This situation reflects a lack of accountability and basic customer care. If you value a good night’s sleep and professional service, **do not stay in Room 215—or any room ending in 15—until management takes action.*
- coby (10/5): - Best shower ever
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff were very friendly, and staying in the building was quite unique. We would absolutely stay again.
- yorosey (8/5): Nice hotel - The hotel is nice and unique. When I booked it I thought it was near the courthouse not converted to a hotel from old courthouse. It is unique and nice. Not sure if all the rooms have high ceiling but I liked that. Made for a comfortable nice short stay. Lobby and check in could use some upgrade work as it is very plain and basic for a nice hotel.
- Ashley (10/5): - The hotel staff were very patient and friendly! They answered my questions and were kind even when I forgot my room key card twice. The room was clean as they do a daily service and it is a comfortable room!
- jennifer (10/5): - The courthouse was beautiful! Gabriel was the person greeting you, and I cant say enough good things about him! He was wonderful! Helpful, pleasant, and just made my long day!
- Vivecca (10/5): - Friendly & helpful staff. Hotel is an actual converted court house. Beautiful property with a pool and restaurant.
- susantD9630RB (10/5): Dream Wedding Ceremony - I had my wedding ceremony this past weekend and I can’t rave enough of how beautiful and what a great experience it was. Heather is like a fairy god mother. She will do anything to make the vision come true and help with anything you need. Working with her from the start was so easy. She makes you feel as if you were family. All of my guest were extremely impressed and gave me so many compliments of how beautiful the location was and how well everything was planned…I have Heather to thank for that. Taylor and I are extremely grateful for the wonderful experience.
- hill (10/5): -
- Allen (10/5): - Awesome hotel!
- Evie (10/5): - Loved it
- Teresa (10/5): - I appreciate that it is a converted Federal Courthouse. From the antique Judge's bench in the lobby, the marble staircases, and the wooden doors - it was a sight to behold. Even the exterior was magical. The Restaurant was bold, modern, and extraordinary.
- Linh (8/5): - The place was good for the dollar value but more of a small boutique place. only one small restaurant. Staff was nice. Only thing about staying on the top floor was having to carry luggage up some steps. Construction across the street. Some homeless people close by made it a bit unsafe at night.
- Julie (10/5): - Friendly, Quality, knowledgeable, room upbeat and location is perfect.
- Ashley (10/5): - Lalanita was the best!!! Truly incredible customer service.
- Natalie (10/5): Beautiful historic building - We had a great time at Le Méridien ! It was just as amazing as I remember from our stay years ago! This is a beautiful building that has a focus on art and architecture. If you are an art lover, this is a gorgeous place to stay that is rich with history! The gentleman at the front desk was so helpful and made our stay start off on the right foot. I also loved the sparkling wine reception! Thank you so much for the attention to detail!
- Tanya (10/5): We came into town for my sons USF orientation. It’s about 17min from the campus so it made for an easy drive. We explore - The location was great! N/A
- Carlos Eduardo (10/5): - Nice property well located.
- Chu (8/5): - The hotel is built in the old Courthouse and furnished in the European style. It's well-appointed, and the rooms feature small footprints and extremely high ceilings. A little bit short of excellent, but it's been renovated and is in very good overall condition. The curtains and drapes were difficult to manipulate with the long rods. Strong recommend!
- Avery (10/5): - Location
- Anny (10/5): Super friendly hotel - Since we checked in with Gabriel we felt very welcomed. Great recommendations on where to go, friendliness and professionalism. The restaurant is very nice. Life music, great food. Very pet friendly. Nice and specious room, big swimming pool, nice area very close to river walk and the museum. I’d definitely come back
- Justin (10/5): Modern and elegant. - Greeted with complimentary prosecco by concierge! Many amenities, great location and welcoming staff. My favorite hotel in Tampa.
- Nora (6/5): - Self parking is not available
- E1078FKalexd (10/5): Amazing wedding venue and hotel - We got married here and it was such a beautiful venue. The historic details were amazing, and the hotel was gorgeous on the inside and outside. Staff were very accommodating, mainly Heather DiGiulio who helped us plan our wedding and even the whole setup process, she was great. The rooms for the hotel were spacious, clean and comfortable. For the reception, the catering staff were very kind and quick with service.
- Crystal (10/5): - I loved the historic architecture. The rooms were spacious and designed so beautifully.
- MAURICE L (2/5): - Totally not worth it.
- Kristine (6/5): - We were a little disappointed in this hotel. We thought it would be more historic, but instead while it is in a super neat old courthouse, it is just a standard modern, corporate feeling Marriott property. There is no way to make coffee in your room, the room is very basic. It felt more like a lower grade Marriott like a Courtyard, Sprinhill, etc. The staff was fine and nice. The location is wonderful for the Riverwalk, and enjoying beautiful downtown Tampa. They just need to either position this hotel as a standard Marriott or try harder to make it a classier hotel.
- Mike (10/5): - Awesome place. Loved the history.
- Susan (10/5): - I would defiantly stay at the Le Méridien in Tampa again.
- Raymond (10/5): - The hotel overall was excellent. The staff was amazing, friendly, and very helpful. I can’t emphasize how great the service was. It was very clean. It was very quiet no noise. We had breakfast at the hotel and the food and menu were outstanding. I would HIGHLY recommend.
- Kara (10/5): - The property was a renovated courthouse with beautiful historic architecture. The rooms were nicely renovated, and it was walking distance to our destination. The front desk staff was very nice and anticipated all my needs.
- jackmC6016BA (10/5): Marvelous Historic 5-Star Boutique Hotel - Stayed at Le Meridien Historic Courthouse during a recent trip to Tampa. This 5-star boutique hotel is absolutely gorgeous. The hotel is a former federal courthouse designed by James Knox Taylor in the Beaux-Arts style. The hotel is gorgeous and has lots of character. We dined at Sal Rosa. The cuisine and the hospitality were excellent.
- Alyce (6/5): - Liked the restored courthouse but needs more amenities
- joan (10/5): - The staff was very helpful when a dog next door back
- Jennifer (7/5): So t stay here. Is like a significant refund. - It’s got super low vibes. You should price match that. The ghostly vibes and the feeling of being on or at work the whole time
- Sheila (10/5): - Good location, excellent property,
- Susan (10/5): It's all about the Responce - when we arrived at 5:pm our room wasn't ready so we sat in the lobby waiting and then when our room was ready, a very nice gentleman at the desk said for your inconvenience we're going to give you 2 coupons for breakfast and a 2 drink coupons for later this evening. I thought that was quite lovely.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay. The bed was so comfortable.
- 330hallaa (8/5): Le Meridien Tampa: Great Idea, Details Need Attention - The idea of converting an old courthouse into a hotel is great, and I have considered the initial purpose of the building. However, we had challenges checking in because the person who made the reservation was not shown as the primary guest of the hotel. The website asked for the guest's name, and that language was a little confusing, as I was then designated the primary guest. Perhaps a little more clarity could be provided for that. Secondly, we were given incorrect information when we valeted our car. We were told it was going to be $40 per day, but at check out, the hotel bill showed $45 per day. The hotel staff did make that adjustment for us. Additionally, my other concern is that my room (339) lacks adequate storage for two adults. There was no dresser in the room, and consideration should be given to adding one. We had no place to unpack our clothes from the suitcase. Hangers were great, but I needed drawers, not baskets or cubbies. Also, it wasn't communicated to us that free coffee was available in the mornings. I didn't hate the location. I felt that it was within walking distance to eating options other than the hotel restaurant.
- V4377TNjeffp (10/5): Historic Charm and Comfort - Le Meridien is a beautiful hotel, with friendly staff (Melissa in the restaurant is awesome) and abundant history and charm. The breakfast was delicious, the bar had a good vibe and the rooms were comfortable, clean and well appointed. A terrific experience in a great location.
- Jane (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tyner (9/5): Great get away for the weekend. Loved the location. Close to everything including the trolley. - Location was great, value was great, Sal Rosa was awseome.
- Robert (10/5): Awesome - All I can say is amazing all the way across the board excellent
- Misako (10/5): Gorgeous - Welcome drink and macarons Free breakfast plate Swimming pool was really small
- Maria (10/5): - Staff was very friendly, attentive to my needs and everyone was super friendly. Will definitely recommend and come back!
- Jessica (10/5): - Great stay! Staff super friendly and room was clean enough to my OCD standard. Not having a garage is a negative but valet was very firendly and accommodating anyhow
- diane (10/5): - Beautifully restored courthouse hotel with many historic features. Staff throughout were attentive, informative and very friendly. A great experience at this property.
- Gonzalez (9/5): Very nice hotel.We would visit again. - It was unique and had very comfortable modern features. NA
- B9779OQstuarts (8/5): Missed opportunities - Positives: Nice hotel, and friendly staff in a historic building. Well done rooms and beds. Missed opportunities: Renovating a historic courthouse into a hotel is a challenge for sure. The missed opportunities: hotel lobby entrance is on the lower level side of the building and feels like you are coming in through a basement. It feels like it deserves something more grand. The upper level marble floors and hallways are well preserved but feel cold and well like an old courthouse office. Improvements such as carpet runners and dimmer lighting would make it feel more cozy and less office cold like. Add some historic pictures of judges and others who have passed through the doors. Tell the story of the building! Location is OK, but not ideal when compared to the other major hotel brands in the area closer to the waterfront.
- chassett88 (8/5): Not what it used to be… - My husband and I stayed at this hotel several times pre-covid and thought it was a great little “boutique-style” hotel with luxury finishes and amenities. This is our first time back in 5 years and the quality of food, menu selection, decor, and general appearance appears to be lacking. Of course it has amazing bones bc it’s still the old courthouse- but now it’s decorated like a typical “coastal beach vibes” hotel? No more espresso/coffee makers in the room? The wallpaper and rugs look cheap. Lounge furniture around bar looks cheesy. Our mattress had a big dent in the center of it, so my husband kept rolling into the middle of the bed. And the prices have only gone up on EVERYTHING, but you’re definitely not getting what you pay for. The valet, check-in desk, and bartender was great on Friday night.
- pzollman (6/5): Spectacular hotel, spectacularly overpriced - This is a beautiful building, adapted from a federal courthouse. The room is perfectly fine but average (and I had a heating problem that was not resolved, despite a visit from engineering). The hotel was priced at more than two times what it's worth. I stayed for a conference, otherwise I would have stayed somewhere else. If they can get what they charged --- $600 for one night, including parking! --- good for them, and they probably should. But that rate is simply insane for a nice but average downtown Tampa hotel on an average weekday night.
- Stacey (10/5): Nice - Hotel building was nice. Check in was nice. Parking is a bit high. They offer room service which is nice and drinks upon arrival.
- OMARULKHATTAB MUAYAD (10/5): - Great
- amandak616 (10/5): Beautiful Old Courthouse Turned Hotel - The day before departing for a cruise, my husband and I needed a place to stay and this was perfect. We were able to check in early (they had a different room ready at that time so we just took it) and the front desk staff were so friendly and helpful! We were able to easily get Ubers to and from wherever we needed to go, but there are lots of restaurants/cafes nearby so we walked some too. The room was really clean and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. We were given a voucher for a continental breakfast in the restaurant upstairs, but we went up and saw a lot of people waiting, so we left and went somewhere close by. Would definitely stay here again!
- PatBarreto (10/5): Amazing Hotel - Historic Building - In January we head up to Tampa to meet with our friends from Norway. We could not be more delighted with our experience! The historic building was transformed into a beautiful hotel. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are very comfortable and clean. The breakfast is served in one of their restaurants and it was delicious. If you want to enjoy the Riverwalk and the Armature Works, this hotel is the perfect hotel! You will be in a walk distance to both locations. If you have a chance to visit this his hotel, look for Yansel Perez, Santiago and Paul Pabon at the Front Desk. They are amazing and will answer all your questions!
- Rachel608 (10/5): Great Hospitality, Great Stay - Loved staying here on Valentine’s Day. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. This is a true definition of great customer service and hospitality all around. Everyone was so helpful and friendly and I truly felt it every moment we encountered someone. Our room was perfect with a King Bed Corner room so it had extra space. Bed was comfortable, pillows not so much but I always bring a pillow with me. Bathroom was nice and clean and loved the shampoos and body wash and soaps all there. There is a small fridge in the room, & you can get ice which was on the first floor. Our floors ice machine did not work, no big deal. Loved the aesthetics of this hotel inside and out showcasing the history of it, & true examples of what was there when it was the courthouse. Next door is also the Sacred Heart Church which was also built in 1905. Loved that we could go to the Tampa Art Museum for free with our stay as well as use the bikes(I wish we had more time for the bikes, but we did walk to the museum. Our included breakfast was perfect and cute and perfectly packed for us because we wanted to sit in the lobby area of the restaurant. Checked out the pool afterwards, and put our feet in the water. It was a true definition of comfort and relaxation. If you are looking to stay in Downtown Tampa for a comfortable night or a few with a beautiful room and beautiful service, this is your place. If you need a place to stay before your cruise the next morning, stay here. You will be happy that you did! You can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner at Sal Rosa which is also conveniently located here. They take great care of their guests and I truly notice it and appreciate it very much. I would definitely recommend staying here.
- Pablo (9/5): Superb -
- cheesehead07 (10/5): Calm, Quiet Spot near the Action - The staff at the hotel was SUPER! Very attentive to all our needs. Gabriel, front desk, in particular, was great in helping us get into a room that worked for our 3-day stay. The breakfast that's offered as part of the stay is really very nice: quiche, muffin, fruit and yogurt, plus coffee and tea served in a restaurant setting is SUCH a step above the continental breakfasts in so many hotel chains.
- travelingfamily122 (10/5): Great restored hotel. Even better location - I had the pleasure of staying in this beautifully restored hotel. The rooms are all updated, and everything was clean and you can’t beat the service. Friendly and knowledgeable front desk staff was such a plus. Even the valet attendants were professional and prompt. Just a great spot. I was visiting my son at the University of Tampa and the location is perfection
- deepstatel (10/5): Best Boutique Hotel in Tampa - I had an amazing stay at this 5-star boutique hotel located in the heart of downtown Tampa. The trendy aesthetic of the hotel compliments its rich history. The hotel was formerly a courthouse. The interior is absolutely beautiful and the staff was top notch. I highly recommend dining at Sal Rosa. The restaurant serves elevated Carinbean-Latin cuisine in a sophisticated tropical environment.
- Syed (5/5): Not met to the standard of Le Meridien - The location and architecture building Le Meridien class was not met, staff should know English well as they were communicating in Spanish lang with guest.
- Ashly (10/5): - My family came in for my business + a photo session. The staff at Le Meridian were so kind and helpful. We loved our room and walking through the hotel, talking about how much history and stories this old world building holds. Would absolutely stay here again.
- jackmC6016BA (10/5): Classy Hotel, Great Location! - Hands down the best hotel in Tampa! This luxury boutique hotel features a pool, gym, bar, 5-star luxury accommodations and a fantastic restaurant. i routinely travel from New York to Tampa/St. Pete for business. I always try to stay at Le Meridien, Tampa Historic Courthouse.
- Nicole (10/5): Clean, updated, and convenient! - We had 2 rooms at the Le Meridien for two nights. Check in was efficient, friendly, and accommodating. All hotel staff were pleasant. We ate in the dining room both mornings. There are many breakfast items on the menu to choose from and were happy with our meals. The bar is outstanding, too. The location couldn't be more perfect with quick access to the River Walk, museums, and lots of restaurants. The fees can add up quickly, but this is true with most nicer hotels. We would return!
- Emmaian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michelle (10/5): - Great property to stay at for local wedding & convenient location. Breakfast was delicious & staff was great! Rooms were spacious & clean. Only downside is there is only costly valet parking available, but there is a safe lot down the street for a more affordable fee if needed. Very walkable area. Would recommend.
- Nicole (8/5): Very interesting history and rooms. Great staff. - The staff were very helpful. Wonderful people. No parking lot but they have valet parking.
- Danny (10/5): - Great place to stay. Very clean!
