This hotel is drop-dead gorgeous with gleaming marble floors, massive arrangements of fresh flowers, glowing chandeliers and water views that go on forever. Even the swimming pool overlooks the water. In fact, this is one of the few hotels in Tampa right at the water's edge, and there is much more to please: heated swimming pool, meeting space, exercise equipment and tennis and basketball courts. Damon's Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and sunset dinners daily in a waterfront dining room. Both the Club House Sports Bar and the Wharf, designed for afternoon and evening cocktails, also overlook the water.
