About
Le Méridien Tampa occupies the former federal courthouse and customs house built in 1905 on North Florida Avenue. The restoration kept marble hallways, oak doors, hand-painted ceilings and courtroom details, and the 130 rooms and suites are spread across five floors in the heart of downtown. It is run under Marriott’s Le Méridien brand.
Sal Rosa Island Kitchen and Bar serves Latin American and Caribbean-inspired food and cocktails, and Sal Rosa Cafe and Scoops handles coffee, gelato and pastries. The outdoor pool sits in the old courtyard. It works well for history buffs, business travelers and anyone who wants a distinctive downtown stay. The Riverwalk and Tampa Museum of Art are a short walk west.
