Tampa - St. Petersburg
Hospitality Industry

Welcome to LodgingGuide's hospitality industry listings for the Tampa - St. Petersburg area.

The Tampa Bay area is unique in the quality of its sunshine, the softness of the bays and of the Gulf of Mexico, and in the warm, almost reddish brown tan of its sunbathers. The gentle, but insistent, oven-like heat, combined with the continual haunting call of the seagulls, transport you to a different plane of existence that makes whatever world you came from seem like distant history. There are days when you can smell the heat, as it permeates everything around you, punctuated by a gentle sea breeze that together serve to cradle and insulate you from all other reality but this one. In this environment you may enjoy a wide range of activities, from the downtown Tampa community of Ybor City where you can enjoy authentic hand-rolled cigars without having to travel to Cuba, to the elegant and intimate bistros along the beach where you can get anything from burgers to gourmet fare. The St. Petersburg and Boca Ciega Bay area provide a nice contrast to the pace of Tampa. The communities along the Gulf, from St. Petersburg north through Clearwater, attract a full spectrum of entertainment and the performing arts, but in a calmer, less formal ambiance than one finds in the older metropolitan areas. The town of Tarpon Springs adds a further unique dimension to the Tampa Bay area, as it is an old Greek Orthodox community where sponge divers perform an annual ceremony popular among visitors, the shops are brimming with natural sponges and other products from the sea, and the restaurants serve a caliber of Greek cuisine unmatched anywhere this side of Athens.
