The Spotlight on The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk

Riverfront Comfort Just Steps from the Stage


The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk is a classic, comfortable hotel located right in Central Tampa, steps away from the Hillsborough River and next door to the Straz Center for the Performing Arts. With spacious rooms, a full-service restaurant and bar, and free WiFi, it’s a relaxed home base for music lovers exploring downtown Tampa.

Why Concert-goers love it


If you're catching a show at the Straz Center, you couldn’t stay any closer—it's literally next door. Other major venues like the Tampa Theatre and Amalie Arena are a short walk or complimentary shuttle ride away. The free downtown shuttle (covering a 2-mile radius) is a huge plus when you're juggling late-night gigs and local attractions. After the show, guests appreciate the quieter atmosphere and comfy rooms that help you wind down.

Who this Hotel is great for


  • Groups of friends—large rooms and shared spaces make it easy to crash together
  • Solo travelers—safe, central location with helpful staff
  • Couples—make a weekend of it with riverside strolls and nearby dining
  • Fans needing a chill-out zone—quiet rooms and river views offer a peaceful reset
  • Budget-conscious music fans—great value with free perks like WiFi and a local shuttle

Food and Drink Options


The on-site restaurant, The Continental, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner—ideal for late risers after a night out. There's also a mini market in the lobby for late-night snacks and essentials. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, the central location means you're close to plenty of walkable eateries and bars.

Nightlife Options


While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you're surrounded by Tampa’s downtown nightlife. From craft cocktail lounges to buzzing live music bars, you're never far from the action. The Straz Center next door often hosts after-show gatherings, and the waterfront setting provides plenty of nearby spots to keep the night going.

What People Say


Guests love the location, especially for attending events at the Straz Center. The friendly staff, river views, and spacious rooms also get consistent praise. Many reviewers mention the convenience of the free shuttle and how easy it is to explore downtown without a car.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests mention the decor could use a refresh, and the on-site dining can be hit or miss. If you're looking for ultra-modern luxury, this might not be your first pick—but for comfort and location, it hits the right notes.

The Bottom Line


The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk is a concert-goer’s dream for its unbeatable location, relaxed vibe, and easy access to Tampa’s best venues.

Good stay at a hotel...

Liked: The staff at this hotel were very helpful, and the room was a reasonable size. The location was close to the riverside and about a 20 minute walk to 'downtown' restaurants. Some smaller cafes are only a few minutes walk away. There is a shuttle to take you to locations within a short distance.
Disliked: The hotel is showing its age, with the rooms needing a refurbishment. This should not stop you from staying there, but be mindful that it is an older hotel. The on-site restaurant is not open for lunch, which is not ideal.

Overall, I am satisfied with...

Liked: The friendliness of the staff and the location of my room.
Disliked: Would have liked another chair, since there were two of us, for just talking and relaxing, rather than having to use the bed.

It was wonderful! We appreciate...

Liked: My roommate and I were truly impressed with the entire staff. The SHUTTLE was amazing (Felix & Dara especially). Melissa at the front desk. Lara with housekeeping. Complimentary laundry was such a welcomed amenity. The Barrymore’s proximity to Armature Works was perfect! We walked there daily. The property is so well kept & exceptionally clean! Beautiful views of the River Walk. We csnt say enough & thank you! We thoroughly enjoyed!
Disliked: Restaurant needs more staff for busy times. Everyone was nice but overwhelmed.
