Fodor's Expert Review Le Méridien Tampa, The Courthouse
601 N. Florida Ave., Tampa, Florida, 33602, USA
A meticulous renovation transformed a marble-adorned, circa-1905 federal courthouse into a boutique hotel where your sleek room might have formerly been a holding cell or a prosecutor's office. The hostess stand in the Bizou Brasserie, which offers French-inspired fare and a wonderful assortment of morning pastries, once served as a witness stand, and juries once deliberated at a large table that's now in the bar area. Other amenities include a pool and a fitness center.
PROS
- close to Downtown attractions
- fascinating for history buffs
- decent on-site amenities
CONS
- area traffic can be a nightmare
- loud echoes in all those marble hallways
- small pool
