Fodor's Expert Review Aloft Tampa Downtown
100 W. Kennedy Blvd., Tampa, Florida, 33602, USA
Right on the Hillsborough River and close to some of Tampa's best restaurants and entertainment venues, this high-rise used to be a bank but is now a boutique chain hotel with sweeping Downtown and water views, local art in the lobby, and a homeyness that makes it seem more like a locally owned property. Business travelers appreciate the generous workspaces and gadget-friendly furnishings, but the pool, access to the Riverwalk, and closeness to nightlife make it a good choice leisure travelers, too. There are also kid-friendly amenities here, and the whole hotel is pet friendly; dogs up to 40 pounds are given a bed, bowl, treats, and toys.

CONS
