Things To Do
Armature Works
A trendy new spot in downtown Tampa. Built from the bones of the old TECO streetcar maintenance and storage facility, Armature Works houses the Heights Public Market as well as multiple restaurants and bars. (distance from Le Méridien: 1mi)
Columbia Restaurant
A staple in Ybor City. This is the original Columbia Restaurant. Come here for fine Spanish Food and maybe catch a Flamenco show! (distance from Le Méridien: 2.6mi)
Tampa Museum of Art
Located within walking distance from the hotel, The Tampa Museum of Art exhibits modern and contemporary art, as well as Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities. All guests that are staying in our room block will receive a free pass! (distance from Le Méridien: .5mi)
The Florida Aquarium
The Florida Aquarium is the perfect way to spend a morning or afternoon in Tampa. Located in the Channelside District of Downtown, the facility is home to more than 7,000 aquatic plants and animals from Florida and all over the world. (distance from Le Méridien: 1.6mi)
North Redington Beach
If you wanted to get your beach fix while you're in Florida, you have a ton of options, but our favorite beach is North Redington Shores. Be mindful that storms could potentially pop up in the afternoons so go early! There's plenty of public parking and in terms of restaurants, just find one with a roll of paper towel on the table and it's bound to be good! (distance from Le Méridien: 29mi)
Tampa Riverwalk
Take a walk along the waterfront in downtown Tampa! The riverwalk path is conveniently located next to great restaurants, shops and playgrounds. You can even follow it North all the way to Armature Works or South towards Channelside!
Hyde Park Village
Set in Hyde Park's beautiful historic district with tree-lined streets and charming brick walkways, Hyde Park Village is the epitome of the new Tampa. Offering the best on-street retail, Hyde Park Village brings together top national brands with beloved local businesses and restaurants to create the downtown Tampa has been waiting for. (distance from Le Méridien: 2mi)
Tampa Theatre
Walking distance from the Le Méridien, The Tampa Theatre is a historic U.S. theater and city landmark in the Uptown District of Tampa, Florida. The theatre features a wide range of independent, foreign, and documentary films on a daily basis and the interior itself is a wondrous example of the early 1900's decadent architecture and theater culture. (distance from Le Méridien: .1mi)
Bayshore Boulevard
Looking for a place for a morning run? Bayshore Boulevard is 4.5 mile sidewalk that starts from Downtown and runs all the way to Ballast Point and runs along the water. It provides great views of Downtown and South Tampa. You may even get some dolphins that run beside you as well! To get here, you can walk down to the Riverwalk, take that South, turn right on the Platt Street bridge and then continue South toward the Pirate Ship. Click the link for directions.

Bern's Steak House
For those that would like a very nice night out, head to Bern's. Touted as one of the best steak houses in the world, with one of the largest wine collections in the world, Bern's will be an experience you won't soon forget. Go for dinner, and get a tour of the facilities, or just go for a nice dessert. Dress code required. (distance from Le Méridien: 3mi)
Coppertail Brewing Co.
Another one of our favorite local breweries, Coppertail is relatively new on the craft beer scene in Florida but it's definitely one of the leaders in our opinion. (distance from Le Méridien: 2mi)
