Only in Tampa can you check in at a former federal courthouse and dine where judges once held court. Le Meridien Tampa, The Courthouse wraps a boutique hotel inside glorious beaux-arts architecture on Florida Avenue.
The landmark stands in downtown Tampa, a short walk from the Riverwalk, the Straz Center and Tampa Theatre, with the free streetcar connecting you to Ybor City and the waterfront.
Bizou Brasserie serves French-inspired plates inside the former courtroom, under soaring ceilings that make every meal feel ceremonial. Rooms mix historic bones with calm, modern comfort — marble, columns and all.
Perfect for history buffs, romantics and travelers who collect one-of-a-kind hotels.
