TAMPA, Fla. (Nov. 2, 2023) – This November, the award-winning Epicurean Hotel kicks off the celebrations for its 10-year anniversary with a cornucopia of special offers and experiences for fans of the boutique hotel in Tampa’s stylish Hyde Park. A sleek new special edition logo has also been designed to mark the occasion. Scheduled throughout November and December, the celebratory specials range from $10 food and drink specials at the hotel’s signature hotel and rooftop bar, to discounted wines, spa services, and an epic 10-course anniversary dinner.
“When we opened, we were one of the first boutique hotels in the city and the dining scene was on the verge of exploding, making it perfect timing for the concept of a culinary hotel,” said Joe Collier, President and Founder, Mainsail Lodging & Development. “As culinary travel and boutique hotels continue to flourish in Tampa and around the world, the Epicurean concept is more popular and relevant than it was a decade ago, which is one reason we’ve had to expand across the street.”
November’s 10-year anniversary celebration includes:
Epicurean Hotel will be observing their special anniversary into the new year with more celebrations to come in December and January including giveaways on social media, as well as a ticketed party. The 10-year anniversary coincides with the opening of the hotel’s $21 million expansion – what is referred to as Epicurean’s “second course.” Located directly across Howard Avenue from the Epicurean’s 137-room main hotel, the expansion adds 51 new guest rooms and suites, a private lobby, meeting space, and rooftop terrace. Incorporating two fully restored apartment buildings, the new four-story structure features a classic, crisp white exterior, historic façade, and lush, green landscaping, and adds two floors of parking with an additional 91 spaces.

Scoop Shop; and 5,200-square feet of flexible event space.
