Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'Gulf View' rooms often face West, meaning they get intense afternoon sun—keep your curtains drawn if you want the room cool.
- ✨
You can order food from the HEW menu to the rooftop bar if you can't get a table downstairs.
- ✨
Walk two blocks to the Pinellas Trail for a safer and more scenic route to downtown than Edgewater Drive.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The bathrooms in standard rooms are shockingly small—barely enough room to turn around.
💡The 'heated' pool can still feel chilly on cool winter mornings as it's in the shade of the building for part of the day.
💡There is a hidden 'speakeasy' entrance to the private dining room inside HEW.
💡The elevator is slow and small; taking the stairs is often faster if you're on the 2nd floor.
💡You can hear the live music from the lobby bar in the first-floor rooms.
