Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tampa

Luxury, Music, and a Front-Row Stay in Tampa

Modern, music-themed, and packed with entertainment, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tampa delivers an upscale experience just steps from the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheater. With over 90,000 square feet of casino excitement, on-site lounges, and live music, it's a destination as much as it is a hotel. The vibe? Bold, energetic, and unmistakably rock 'n' roll.
Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, plush robes, and even curated music playlists to set the tone for your stay. You're just 15 miles from Tampa International Airport and only 7 miles from popular attractions like Busch Gardens and Channelside Bay Plaza.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concerts are also held right on-site in lounges throughout the property, offering even more chances to see live music. Despite its lively nature, rooms are well-insulated for a quiet night’s sleep post-show. Plus, with a 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility to suit most concert schedules.
