"Le Meridien Tampa: Great Idea, Details Need Attention"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed April 21, 2025 NEW
The idea of converting an old courthouse into a hotel is great, and I have considered the initial purpose of the building. However, we had challenges checking in because the person who made the reservation was not shown as the primary guest of the hotel. The website asked for the guest's name, and that language was a little confusing, as I was then designated the primary guest. Perhaps a little more clarity could be provided for that. Secondly, we were given incorrect information when we valeted our car. We were told it was going to be $40 per day, but at check out, the hotel bill showed $45 per day. The hotel staff did make that adjustment for us. Additionally, my other concern is that my room (339) lacks adequate storage for two adults. There was no dresser in the room, and consideration should be given to adding one. We had no place to unpack our clothes from the suitcase. Hangers were great, but I needed drawers, not baskets or cubbies. Also, it wasn't communicated to us that free coffee was available in the mornings. I didn't hate the location. I felt that it was within walking distance to eating options other than the hotel restaurant.

Le Meridien is a beautiful hotel, with friendly staff (Melissa in the restaurant is awesome) and abundant history and charm. The breakfast was delicious, the bar had a good vibe and the rooms were comfortable, clean and well appointed. A terrific experience in a great location.

"Missed opportunities"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed March 08, 2025
Positives: Nice hotel, and friendly staff in a historic building. Well done rooms and beds. Missed opportunities: Renovating a historic courthouse into a hotel is a challenge for sure. The missed opportunities: hotel lobby entrance is on the lower level side of the building and feels like you are coming in through a basement. It feels like it deserves something more grand. The upper level marble floors and hallways are well preserved but feel cold and well like an old courthouse office. Improvements such as carpet runners and dimmer lighting would make it feel more cozy and less office cold like. Add some historic pictures of judges and others who have passed through the doors. Tell the story of the building! Location is OK, but not ideal when compared to the other major hotel brands in the area closer to the waterfront.

"Not what it used to be…"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed March 08, 2025
My husband and I stayed at this hotel several times pre-covid and thought it was a great little “boutique-style” hotel with luxury finishes and amenities. This is our first time back in 5 years and the quality of food, menu selection, decor, and general appearance appears to be lacking. Of course it has amazing bones bc it’s still the old courthouse- but now it’s decorated like a typical “coastal beach vibes” hotel? No more espresso/coffee makers in the room? The wallpaper and rugs look cheap. Lounge furniture around bar looks cheesy. Our mattress had a big dent in the center of it, so my husband kept rolling into the middle of the bed. And the prices have only gone up on EVERYTHING, but you’re definitely not getting what you pay for. The valet, check-in desk, and bartender was great on Friday night.

"Spectacular hotel, spectacularly overpriced"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed March 02, 2025
This is a beautiful building, adapted from a federal courthouse. The room is perfectly fine but average (and I had a heating problem that was not resolved, despite a visit from engineering). The hotel was priced at more than two times what it's worth. I stayed for a conference, otherwise I would have stayed somewhere else. If they can get what they charged --- $600 for one night, including parking! --- good for them, and they probably should. But that rate is simply insane for a nice but average downtown Tampa hotel on an average weekday night.
