Nice new European style hotel located 2 minutes walk to the clearwater beach. Overall good experience, just some details; even it's close to the beach there's no beach towels provided or place to dry your clothes (no ventilation in the room at all), elevators operations confuse and too slow for the new hotel,( one going 1-5 floor, another 5-10,and one 1-10),only valet parking $40 per night, good European style buffet breakfast, but food and coffee run out to quickly, espresso machine partially works, looks like hotel have understaffed, we requested room cleaning, showed up only on next day just to do quick run, don't even swept the floor. They claimed rooftop bar with sunset view, but actually it's a concrete walls surrounded bar area, you have to stand up to look over and then building across the street still blocking the view. But bcz it's a nice location, and we got a partially gulf view room,and front desk stuff was nice, we still enjoy our stay.

Great hotel, well located. Some surrounding areas are still under construction . No room service, not actually any service offered apart from valet(they force you to take valet parking and its $USD 38 per Day. Hotel is great looking with a nice terrace with pool. Everything is beautiful and brand new. Rooms lack a bit of cozyness and mattresses are OK- not really premium quality

Check in was a bit slow as they did not have enough staff to check guest in. The place was about 90% clean. Needed to be better. Roof top bar was awesome. The bar tender was great and made you feel very welcomed. Pool was not the size they showed on the web site and the rooms were much smaller than the web site. Bathrooms were incredibly small with little to no room. Location is great. Would not stay again.

We got there, unpacked our stuff and noticed the floor had some damp spots, I figured it could be condensation from a bottle of water or something. We wake up the next day, floors dry. Start walking around, within minutes the floor has wet spots again. My wife left some dirty clothes on the floor, picked them up, soaked in water…. On the way to the beach we bring it up to the front desk and they say they’ll look into it. Later, on the way back to the room we asked if it had been addressed and they said it had been fixed and cleaned up. She did offer us another room but made it sound like it was going to be a while until it was ready and it didn’t have a king bed. So we just said whatever if it’s fixed no big deal. Within minutes of walking around in the room again wet spots on the floor… we only had two nights there so we dealt with it. So it seems that when you open the shower door all the water on the door ends up on the floor, soaks into the floor and there’s water under it. You can tell the water from the shower door streams towards the area that’s the worst. Yes, I used the shower floor mat, but the door swing is larger than the mat. Some flooring on warped and feels like it’s not resting directly on what’s beneath it. When you step it pushes the water through the gaps. I’m guessing every room For the two nights we stayed it wasn’t worth switching rooms. Staff were very nice. View was nice. But this wasn’t a new issue, I’m guessing they’ve known about it.

Parking was outrageous at $38 a night plus tax. My credit card was charged for a fee I am still trying to figure out why, we didn’t buy anything during our stay. The body wash in the shower was completely empty, obviously not checked between guests. Property was clean. Overall I would not stay here again.

Examples: dirty towels, leaking shower, 1/4 roll of toilet paper, dirty coffee maker, no pump for shower gel, clogged sink, etc. The location is great and property maintained just need better housekeeping.

Housekeeping was very loud in the hallways outside If he rooms they were cleaning. Front desk employees were very polite, kind and as helpful as they could be but they were not trained in concierge services.

We chose this hotel for its prime beachfront location. After flying into Tampa, we relied on walking or Uber for transportation, and the hotel’s convenient position made this easy. The beach was just a short stroll away, about a few hundred yards. Mornings were delightful with nearby coffee shops, and King’s Pizza, a fantastic restaurant just steps away, became a frequent stop. Plenty of dining options were within walking distance, adding to the convenience. Despite a category 5 hurricane hitting only eight months earlier, the hotel and surrounding area showed minimal damage—a testament to the community’s resilience. The lobby and its elegant bar exuded sophistication. The hotel offered a European-style breakfast, which we skipped, preferring a heartier American-style meal. My main gripe was the pool area: while the pool itself was decently sized, shade was scarce, with only four umbrellas available. By late afternoon, the deck was fully exposed to the intense Florida sun, making long stays uncomfortable. Additionally, the pool closed at dusk, which felt restrictive, and the absence of a hot tub was a missed opportunity for relaxing after a beach day. The hotel caters well to couples, which suited us perfectly. Our room was spacious but minimalistic, with just two drawers and a small hanging area for storage.

I appreciated the upfront communication regarding any additional costs, such as valet. All staff was friendly, but I would say the bar staff and valet were exceptional (Adam, you’re a real one). The room was a bit on the smaller side, but I much prefer the long bench with room for storing my suitcase underneath to the drawers you typically see. My room was clean, modern, and it was easy to control the temp. You can hook up your streaming networks and the bed was fantastic. Although, the lighting was hard to figure out and the water pressure was non-existent. Overall, I loved staying in a quiet, clean, comfortable room incredibly close to the beach with effortless parking and a friendly bar scene. The pool was great but I was at the beach most of each day. Definitely would recommend.

The hotel was nice and modern. The lobby was nice. Staff was welcoming. Idk how many people man the front desk but I’ve called a couple times and no one answered. Too modern design that they don’t have ample space to hang clothes or even drawers to keep anything. We were there for 4 days and our clothes lived inside the suitcase or spread out the ledge/couch? below the TV. The bed was nice but too low. There was no loveseat in our room, only one swivel couch, a chair and small round desk. We couldn’t sit together except when in bed. One last thing was the painting on the wall - modern but was very depressing for me. I knw art is subjective but I think most people will feel the same. We did not try the rooftop. Pool was a decent size. Overall nice hotel, good location.

We had reservations confirmed and were informed our room was ready but come to find out the room was not cleaned and we walked into a room that was trashed. The second attempt for a room had construction and an air conditioning unit and tools were laying everywhere.The third attempt was a room that did not meet our original request (king and sofa bed). Finally by the fouth time and hours past the time we were originally told our room was ready, we finally were able to settle in. Construction in the building began around 7:30AM every morning. It was a lovely wake up call.

Stayed there for 4 days and not one day did our room get cleaned. When we asked the cleaning lady about it, she said I will find out and she never did or get back with us. I’ve been staying in Clearwater for years, this is the first time in this hotel and it will probably be the last. When we asked the front desk, she said they were understaffed. So you pay full price for an understaffed establishment. So disappointed but you live and you learn.

Pros- Great hotel. Friendly staff and clean property. Rooms are spacious. Food is really good. Lobby bar, pool bar and rooftop bar are clean and spacious. Great sunset views. Cons - no room service. No food runners at bar areas. Seems silly but not so silly when there’s a bar full of people waiting for drinks and the bartender has to leave to go to the kitchen and pick up food.
