Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk Hotel

Looking for a picturesque location with easy access to downtown Tampa? While the Sheraton isn’t the most luxurious hotel, it’s great location and views of the Hillsborough River make it a great bargain in for both business and leisure travelers.

Located on the banks of the Hillsborough River, which runs through the center of downtown Tampa, the hotel is near dozens of downtown attractions, including the Convention Center, Lowry Park Zoo, WestShore Plaza shopping mall, historic Ybor City, Tampa Bay Times Forum sports arena, The Florida Aquarium, the art museum, and the airport. A free hotel shuttle transports guests anywhere within a three-mile radius. In addition, there is a local water taxi that stops at the hotel dock and offers private charters and harbor tours.

The casual riverfront hotel offers typical amenities for the practical crowd. The Sheraton offers one heated outdoor pool, located in a scenic spot beside the river, as well as a 24-hour fitness center. The hotel restaurant, Ashley Street Grille, is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner offering burgers, steaks, and jumbo shrimp. Fifth and sixth-floor guests have access to the Club Level Lounge, which serves a free breakfast buffet in the morning and snacks in the evening. There is also 12,000 square feet of event space for meetings and weddings.

Accommodations at the hotel are basic with modern features such as free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and iPod docking stations.
