Renaissance Tampa International Plaza

4200 Jim Walter Blvd, Tampa, FL

Though located in the heart of Tampa's Westshore business district, the Renaissance Tampa Hotel International Plaza feels like it's a world away - a Mediterranean villa, a Spanish square, a Cuban plaza.[more]

  • Centrally located, clean, nicely appointed.
  • The parking is not very convenient-valet very expensive.

“This hotel is in a nice area of town. It is close to an upscale mall with lots of dining choices. I also like the fact that it is easily accessible from all the major highways. Everyone was helpful and the facility was clean.”

  • Decent bar and bar menu/food.
  • Self parking was ridiculous; rooms tacky; walls thin.

“Great hotel if you want to stay next to an upscale mall. Otherwise, stay at the Intercontinental.”

  • Clean.
  • Small bathroom - no separate shower, only tub with shower curtain.

“Not bad but not a four star hotel.”

  • Beautiful upscale hotel that looks brand new.
  • It wasn't easy to find or near enough for me to consider it an airport hotel.

“Very nice hotel adjacent to what looks like an upscale shopping center. They have a restaurant that claims to be the place to "see and be seen". I didn't see it, but there were several well dressed people and couples who were coming and going from the Blue Martini room at 1:00 am, so I guess it is the place to be in Tampa. If you are looking for an airport hotel in Tampa I think this is the only 4 star hotels there is. Otherwise it is hard to find from the airport and not really that close.”

  • Good location. that's it.
  • SM outdated rooms/sm bathrooms/no frig/old TV.

“Location good/ however for a 4 star hotel expected bigger rooms. Linens and towels were like razor blades. No Minibar or fridge in case of leftovers at diner. Vending machines empty. So you have to pay more in hotel convenience store if you want to call it that. In order to buy something you have to ring a bell and wait for service. Don't even start me with the ridiculously high and hidden hotel taxes (occ?) like $50.00 a day. You could not pay me to stay there again.”

  • Very quiet and nice location at least 10 dining options w/in walking distance.
  • No fridge or minibar in room, long walk if you park own car.

“The lobby area, grounds, pretty much everything looks new and upscale. Quick check in. The hotel is adjacent to International Plaza shopping mall and a short walk to restaurants and entertainment options. I didn't use the pool/hot tub but when I checked out the area it was clean and not crowded on a Saturday afternoon, of course crowd levels vary. The hotel room was very quiet with almost no sound making it in. Very nice, I like the Grand Hyatt in Tampa a bit better than this hotel, mostly due to the parking situation, but I wasn't disappointed either. Of course, I could have sprung the $16/day for the valet parking and been done with it. There are so many ways to spend money near this hotel it seemed silly to waste it on the valet though. For you business/conference planners. There were several conferences going on while I was there. There was abundant staffing and nice setups on the tables. The courtyard is great with seating groups spaced nicely. I would enjoy staying here again.”

  • It was lovely, professional, friendly, and absolutely wanting to make the stay great.
  • The Shrimp was over-cooked.

“This hotel has old world ambience with European elegance. The service is warm and friendly with a true desire to serve and to please. It is a remote paradise nestled in a modern, fast paced shopping and eating environment. It transports you to a fantasy of comfort and luxury.”

  • The location attached to the mall.
  • Service was incompetent and poor; room was tiny; bed was average; technology was poor.

“Terrible service from check in where they gave me a room the exact opposite of what I had requested to check out where I had to jump the curb to get out of their parking lot due to a malfunctioning gate that they wouldn't send someone to correct (they made me late for a business meeting). The room is tiny and the bed average. No WiFi The room service, however, is great even when they send up something you didn't order. Also, the bathroom has nice style, though is small.”

  • Breakfast room service was a nice option, and it was under $10!
  • The vanity in the bath was cramped. $16 for the Valet should have been disclosed up front.

“Great for the price I paid. Excellent location directly adjacent to an upscale mall and very comfortable bed. I could hear my neighbors more than I would have liked (luckily they were only noisy briefly). It was nice to eat my breakfast in the room while getting ready. I was only there one night and left early in the AM, so I had very limited interaction overall.”

  • Location - definitely worth price.
  • We opted to upgrade to "courtyard view" - On 8th floor we had a great view of airport runway.

“Hotel has great amenities, but advantage is location. It is on the premises of a very upscale mall with a plaza that has great variety of restaurants, from very upscale to family- friendly to very casual. Hotel/mall is at the end of the airport's runway, but we never heard the planes.”

  • Very comfortable and attractive; close to many things.
  • A bit hard to find in the airport complex.

“This hotel is very conveniently located near the Tampa International Airport, but we did not hear any airport noise. The airport and the hotel are centrally located within short drives of Busch Gardens, Ybor City, the aquarium, and Downtown. St. Petersburg is less than 1/2 hour away. The hotel is connected to an upscale mall. It is a very attractive and comfortable facility. Self-park is free.”

“Great Location. Couple steps from wonderful restaurants and shopping. Great hotel for the business traveler, not such much for families as the rooms are small and kid friendly amenities are limited (games room, etc.).”
