Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay, hotel in Tampa, United States
Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay is a 14-story hotel sitting directly on the waterfront of Tampa Bay in Florida. It has two heated outdoor pools, several restaurants, a fitness center, and wooden boardwalks that run through mangrove forest out to viewing platforms over the water.
The hotel was built to offer travelers a place to stay close to the natural edge of Tampa Bay. Over the years it became a steady choice for visitors to the region and has kept its reputation for comfort and service.
The boardwalks behind the hotel wind through a mangrove area on the water's edge, where roseate spoonbills and white egrets are regularly spotted. This nature trail is part of what many guests remember most, giving the stay a feel that is unusual for a city hotel.
The hotel sits close to Tampa International Airport, which makes it convenient for an early departure or a late arrival. Rooms on the bay side face the water rather than the airport, so it is worth requesting that side when booking.
Manatees have been spotted from certain rooms and from the dock at the end of the nature trail in Tampa Bay. Guests who walk out to the dock in the early morning have the best chance of seeing one close to the surface.
