We arrived to Tampa late on Halloween night. When we arrived at Le Meridien, we were taken by the design of the hotel. I am a fan of modern design and this hotel does it perfectly. We had a quick check in and went to our room. We were appalled to see that the room was not cleaned thoroughly as there were remnants of someone who may have had a rough party night. We told the management who took care of the issue ASAP and placed us in a new room immediately. Some hotel experiences are not perfect as we would like but I rather judge not the condition of the room but praise the speed in which the management responded.

My favorite feature of the hotel was the design. The building was a former courthouse and the designers were able to adapt it perfectly to a hotel. There’s plenty of marble and dark wood intertwined with the modern furniture in shades of navy and neutral tones. Needless to say, I got plenty of inspiration to decorate our new home. Our room was spacious and the bed was so comfortable that I ended up sleeping in most of the days there. The rooms are decorated with modern furniture with amazing floor to ceiling windows with lovely light.

A close second to the decor at Le Meridien Tampa was the food. It all starts in the morning. The hotel treats you to complimentary eclairs made in house from the Brasserie Bizou and a Illy espresso machine in the room. I got to experience dinner, brunch, and room service at the hotel and I can say the food was delicious. Dinner was composed of the refined classics: duck and filet mignon. The server Kate, was an expert of the menu. We also appreciated her knowledge of the wine and cocktail program. I had great service at Bizou throughout my stay. A few times after work I would go to the bar area to work and also noticed it was a popular place among the locals.
