Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Location is unbeatable for foodies—Bern's is literally across the street
- The 'culinary theme' isn't just marketing; there's a demo kitchen and butcher block furniture
- Rooftop bar (EDGE) has a great vibe without being a total nightclub
Snel Overzicht: A food-obsessed boutique hotel that nails the vibe but sometimes forgets about soundproofing.
Beoordeeld door @Kenzib21: I stayed at the Epicurean for a weekend getaway and honestly, the vibe is unmatched. Waking up to Blind Tiger coffee and exploring the local murals made my trip. The room felt super modern and cozy. Definitely my go-to spot in Tampa now.

Reality check
The 'city view' often means a view of a parking deck or a busy road, and the rooms can feel a bit compact for the price.
- You have a reservation at Bern's Steak House
- You appreciate a good glass of wine (there's a wine shop in the lobby)
- You want to be in a walkable, trendy neighborhood (SoHo/Hyde Park)

5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'city view' might just be the back of a parking garage.
💡The bathroom doors are often sliding barn-style, which offers less acoustic privacy.
💡The pool can get crowded and 'scene-y' on weekends with locals.
💡You can buy a bottle of wine in the lobby shop and drink it in your room for retail prices (cheaper than room service).
💡The 'Artisan Pantry' prices are high, but the selection is way better than a standard hotel Snickers bar.
