Jordan RaynorOctober 11, 2011Welcome to the historic 1891 Tampa Bay Hotel, now the University of Tampa. There's plenty of history to explore at this beautiful building. Stop by Tues-Sat, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., or Sunday, 12–5 p.m.
John McCombsOctober 20, 2018Has a self-guided audio tour with lots of in-depth info, but can be a bit long with lots of standing and staring. Great if you love local history!
Juan MentucciMarch 14, 2015Loved this place! Amazing all the story about it. Would visit it again next time in Tampa.- Claudia Flores-GrisalesNovember 20, 2010I love this place! I love wondering how does it like back in time, when it was the famous Tampa Hotel. My husband and I decided to have our wedding photo shoot at the museum´s gardens and lobby! ;)
William StokesApril 30, 2017Interesting history about this venue. It used to be a grand hotel back in the day.- Visit Tampa BayOctober 13, 2010Magnificent Moorish architecture, opulent furnishings, and tropical gardens, a visit to the restored rooms of the former Tampa Bay Hotel, will transport you to Victorian splendor.
One of the best selections of books on the subject of Tampa and Florida history.

Connor PennDecember 26, 2014Quaint little exhibit, worthwhile but can be done completely in two hours. $2 for the guided tour is a good investment.
