The best base for an LGBTQ+ trip to Tampa is Ybor City, which puts you within walking distance of the GaYbor District's bars and cafes. The TECO Line Streetcar (currently free to ride) connects Ybor to downtown, so nearby hotels work well too.
Hotels In & Near Ybor City
- Hotel Haya — A stylish boutique hotel on a prime Ybor corner, with a lobby cafe and courtyard, steps from 7th Avenue.
- Casa Puente Men's Guest House — A men's-only guest house with an intimate, community-oriented feel, about 15 minutes north of Ybor (plan to drive in for the nightlife).

If you're splitting time with St. Petersburg, the Grand Central gayborhood across the bay has its own LGBTQ+ owned stays — a 25-minute drive from Ybor.
