Located in the heart of Tampa's Westshore business district, the Renaissance Tampa Hotel International Plaza feels like it's a world away. When visiting this beautiful hotel in Tampa, you feel as if you're in a Mediterranean villa, a Spanish square, or even a Cuban plaza. Throughout our hotel bright hues of red and yellow, hand-glazed tiles, custom ironwork and Italian crystals create an ambiance of a Costa del Sol mansion. Our exquisite restaurant, Pelagia Trattoria, features an open-air kitchen where you can watch award-winning Executive Chef Fabrizio Schenardi create mouth-watering Modern Italian cuisine. The Renaissance Tampa Hotel International Plaza is definitely a hotel in Tampa you'll want to experience.

My two friends and I were celebrating a friends birthday and I had booked a room at the Renaissance Tampa Hotel as a surprise. Although it was her birthday, my friends and I purchased the romance package because she has not had luck in relationships lately. She was greeted with roses, chocolate and champagne. The room was also gorgeous and really impressed us. If that wasn't enough, the Pelagia Trattoria, a restaurant located inside the hotel was absolutely amazing. I ordered the grilled Ahi tuna and almost melted, I am not sure what everyone else had because I was so into my dish. We were so full by the end of the meal; we did not even want birthday cake. That was later saved for at night when we got to share the champagne and just relax. The next morning when we woke up we treated her to a spa day, which was amazing, and really convenient because we could walk to it from the hotel. I am usually a workaholic but this hotel really gave me a chance to bond with my friend on her birthday. I cannot wait to go back for another girl's night out!
