The Spotlight on The Westin Tampa Waterside

Waterfront Comfort Just Minutes from Tampa's Top Concert Spots

Modern and upscale, The Westin Tampa Waterside offers a serene harborfront setting on Harbour Island, just a short walk or ride from downtown Tampa’s biggest music venues. With sleek, cream-toned rooms, on-site dining, and views of the water, this hotel blends relaxation with convenience for concert-goers looking to enjoy the city and unwind after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s prime location puts you less than a mile from both the Amtrak station and major venues like the Amalie Arena. Its peaceful waterfront setting offers a quiet escape after a high-energy show, yet you’re still close enough to all the action. The flexible check-in at 4:00 PM and late check-out at noon give you plenty of time to rest and recover. Plus, rideshares and late-night transport are easily accessible from the hotel’s central spot.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a big tour together
  • Solo travelers catching a dream concert
  • Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend
  • Fans who want a quiet, scenic space to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious travelers looking for value in a prime location

Food and Drink Options

  • On-site dining at Blue Harbor Eatery and Bar offers casual elegance and fresh flavors
  • Plenty of nearby restaurants and bars are within walking distance
  • Room service available for those late-night post-concert cravings
  • No official breakfast buffet, but coffee-making facilities are in-room and nearby cafes abound

Nightlife Options

  • Relax at the stylish on-site bar with harbor views
  • Short walk or ride to Tampa’s vibrant downtown nightlife, including bars and lounges
  • Live music venues and energetic nightlife are just across the bridge

What People Say

Guests love the waterfront views, clean and modern rooms, and the peaceful atmosphere that still feels close to the downtown action. Many reviewers mention the friendly staff and how easy it is to get to concerts or explore nearby attractions like the Florida Aquarium. The location on Harbour Island is a frequent highlight, offering both serenity and access.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that valet parking can be a bit pricey and that the decor, while clean and modern, could use a refresh in certain areas. Wi-Fi isn’t always free in every room type, so check your booking details.

The Bottom Line

If you want a calm, comfortable retreat within easy reach of Tampa’s biggest music venues, The Westin Tampa Waterside hits all the right notes.

Purpose for visit was NCAA tournament. The Westin location is perfect for activities being held at the convention center or Times Forum. We enjoyed everything from valet parking to the river walk. We had a wonderful stay and I recommend the Westin Harbour Island highly.

Disappointing

Liked: I really wanted to wear the Westine robes while in room. And there was non. I sent email and requested it. No answer. I think the resort fee of the $30 should be allowed your entire visit whether it's that afternoon evening or in the morning. It's going to be charged to the visitor anyway.
Disliked: I think charged for parking is obscure when you're staying there.
