813 Spotlight - 3 Ways To Save at Tampa's Hippest Hotel

The desire to travel is universal. We NEED to get away from it all every now and then. Seeking adventure we want stories to tell, extreme, memorable moments to share, and it all starts with the hotel. Located in an area of Tampa where creative-minds feel right at home, you find Aloft tucked along Tampa's beautiful Riverwalk, across from the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, Aloft offers a plethora of accommodations: from Starbucks Stay to Shop and Stay, and Stay and Cruise. But, these are not the 3 ways to save at Tampa's hippest hotel we want to share with you today. No, we are talking BIG bucks. We will share what they are, and why you NEED to stay at this retro-modern, trailblazing Tampa boutique hotel soon. Lets' begin with....... the Pool!


Memorial Day at Aloft

Once a month, Aloft Tampa Downtown hosts an avante-garde pool party capturing the cultural zeitgeist of the moment. It's cutting edge pool and bar transform into a fun, outdoor lounge, brimming with people who enjoy a great escape, even if it is only for the day. Premier Tampa event planners, Legacy Productions, pull out all the stops once a month at Aloft, consistently planning perfectly quirky parties their guests talk about for weeks. Upcoming dates include June 18th's Summer Kickoff, IndepenDANCE on Monday, July 4th, the White Party August 20th and LaborDay Monday September 5th.  Our recommendation, take advantage of one of these deals and stay! Don't get distracted by everyday, decide to stay and play!

 3 Ways to Save

1. Do you have an American Express Card? Book two or more consecutive nights at Aloft's hip hotel and receive 40% off every 2nd night. The offer is valid until 9/5/2016 when you book and pay with an American Express Card. Terms and conditions apply, check with the hotel for details.

2. Are you a member of AAA?  It's not only for the elderly!  Everyone wants a great experience, but why not save in the process? The more you save the more you can play! AAA Members are rewarded with 15% off and a free daily breakfast or $100 credit, you choose.

3.  With Aloft's Sip in Style package you not only enjoy their great rates, you also receive two complimentary drinks at the W XYZ Bar.  An experience in itself, our plan was to enjoy a little 'hair of the dog', indulging in a couple Bloody Mary's, but the choices were so varied, and the bartenders so talented, we sat and watched as they created quirky, artisanal drinks almost too pretty to sip before deciding.

No matter what you choose, you can't go wrong with Aloft, from it's hip industrial styling, to the stunning views of the river, it is one of our favorite places for a 'staycation'. So much of our time is spent running here and there, balancing our work and home life, our social lives suffer. How often, as you flit about, do you drive by a place and wonder, “what's that like, it looks like it would be fun.” However, months later you still do not know!  Stop driving by!  A stay-cation is the perfect time to be a tourist right here in your own hometown! You've earned it!

Walk to unexplored Downtown Tampa Restaurants on the river, take the Tampa Water Taxi up to Ulele or Rick's on the River, or grab a drink from W XYZ Bar and walk the Riverwalk to the Tampa Bay History Center.  Sit at the The Sail Pavilion and watch the world pass you by.  Look at the cars as they pass, do you see someone looking back wondering what they have to do, to vacation like you?  See Tampa with fresh eyes from Aloft Tampa Downtown, the kind of place that makes you want to pack your bag and escape!
