Epicurean Hotel, Autograph Collection

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.

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.

Place was kept up and in great condition pool was warm staff is super friendly

We liked they charged our tesla

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

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.

gorgeous facilities... massage was incredible and ice cream parlor was a bonus

The hotel staff and property were great, super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable able the area. The only down side about The Epicurean is the pool area, it’s like a holiday in pool, it would be great if they remodel so it matches the rest of the property great features

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

The room was clean. The staff was friendly and courteous. It was a very effectively and efficiently organized hotel. Decor and theme was well placed as an adjunct to Bern’s Steakhouse.

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.

Only a 1 night stay but staff, property and cleanliness all 1st class .

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.

Hotel staff is very friendly. Hotel is clean. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.

Quiet and clean

Clean

I loved everything about this hotel. As someone who is big on cleanliness & customer service, everything was 10/10. Will definitely be back.

I loved everything about this hotel. Especially the shower! BUT the pillows were too fat.

Staff was absolutely top notch. Noise from the interstate was really loud

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.

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.

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.

Good spot. Street noise can be loud depending on room. Definitely get Howard side if possible

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.

Room was gorgeous and staff was super helpful

Staff was very accommodating. Confortable room.

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 spot. Food is great. Service top notch. We will be back

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.

Friendly staff close to lots of bars and restaurants. Easy check in and valet service.

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.

Staff friendly and helpful

Great staff Not super close to anything but clean and a good value

We loved the hotel and it’s perfect location

Friendly staff close to lots of bars and restaurants. Easy check in and valet service.

Went for our anniversary. Really enjoyed the location to major Tampa attractions. Walking distance of perfect shopping and eats. Literally, across the street from Bern’s steakhouse.

Great location

Great area well done beautiful hotel. Famous Berns steakhouse across the street. Hidden gem

Great location for Berns

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.

Across the street from one of the best steakhouses I’ve been to!

The property is beautiful and the rooms were very updated and clean. The restaurant and bars were great. Everything was conveniently located.

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.

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 Epicurean is a boutique style hotel that has a great restaurant and in an area of great restaurants. It has a wine store and markets its own wines.. which are excellent. It's clean, new and staff are helpful.

What a great experience. Staff was very great. Food is amazing. If you love wine this is the place for you. It is next to Bern’s Steakhouse. Great property.

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.

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!
