The Edition features spacious rooms and suites with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms with baths or showers, and city views from select accommodations. The property offers an outdoor rooftop pool with cabanas, a fitness center, and a terrace. Dining options range from coastal Italian at Market to Greek cuisine at Azure, plus a Lobby Bar and Arts Club featuring Asian-inspired dishes. A complimentary house car service operates within a 2-mile radius.

Weekly complimentary yoga sessions on the gym terrace

Multiple dining options including Michelin Key distinction restaurants

Rooftop cabanas with panoramic city views

“Downtown Tampa has a Forbes 4 Star property with innovative dining, curated events, and a unique lounge; it's a place where luxury aims at personalization. The Michelin-starred restaurant, helmed by Chef John Fraser, stands out, even if some experiences at the rooftop bar miss the mark. I think it's a solid choice for those who prioritize location and high-end amenities.”
