Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Haya

Set in the heart of Ybor City, this boutique hotel blends contemporary styling and comforts with traditional elements that acknowledge the area's Spanish, Italian, and Cuban roots. Nods to history include exposed brick, preserved reproductions of works by Spanish painter Francisco Goya that were uncovered during construction, and lighting that evokes the district’s streetlights. The upscale Flor Fina Mediterranean restaurant and the casual Café Quiquiriqui are among the on-site dining options. You can also order boozy ice-pops and cocktails by the pool, or venture into the neighborhood to experience nearby J.C. Newman Cigar Company or the Ybor City Saturday Market.
