Epicurean Hotel Serves Up Tasty Florida Resident Rates

From now through Sept. 3, 2016, Floridians hungry to travel the Sunshine State can visit the food-focused Epicurean Hotel at a savings of 25 percent. With rates starting as low as $139, residents have the opportunity to experience the culinary-themed, boutique hotel, located in the trendy Hyde Park historic district of South Tampa.

The Epicurean Hotel, opened in Dec. 2013, was developed in collaboration with Mainsail Lodging & Development and the legendary Bern’s Steak House and is the first newly constructed hotel property in the United States to join the prestigious Autograph Collection® of Marriott International, Inc.

This summer, guests can enjoy the signature SPLASH pool parties, held every Sunday until Sept. 4.

In addition, Dive-In movies for adults are being offered select Saturday’s and “Yoga with a Twist” on the last Sunday of the month. A rotating calendar of culinary events and cooking classes are being served up all summer long in the Epicurean Theatre – a state-of- the-art culinary classroom showcasing a Wolf & Sub-Zero kitchen. Guests can take part in a variety of culinary classes such as “The VooDoo Krewe,” and take part in the Epic Chef Showdown viewing parties, a cooking competition between local chefs to benefit Feeding Tampa Bay.

Additional Epicurean experiences include Élevage, a restaurant where classic recipes are re-imagined; EDGE rooftop bar; Chocolate Pi patisserie and Bern’s Fine Wines & Spirits wine shop; bicycles to explore Hyde Park and Bayshore Boulevard and Evangeline full-service spa. The 2,800-square- foot spa features five treatment rooms, including two couple’s treatment rooms, a relaxation room and manicure and pedicure stations.
