Editorial Review for Don Vicente de Ybor Historic Inn – by Gayot.com

The Scene
Both tourists and local partiers can find Ybor City exhausting. So many bars, so many clubs, so many restaurants...so little time. For those who want a late night without a long trip back to their hotel, or who want to get an early start sightseeing in the morning, this is an ideal location. It also offers a charming atmosphere reminiscent of a traditional European lodging.

The Details
This remarkable building was constructed in 1895 by the founder of Ybor City, Cuban patriot Vicente Martinez Ybor. It is situated in the heart of the district and has been transformed into a premier boutique hotel. Guest rooms and suites are furnished with accents such as canopied beds, and many have wrought-iron balconies. The opulent grand salon will make you feel as if you've traveled back to the peak of 19th-century luxury, while the brick and wood dining area brings to mind a cozy taverna.

I was actually married at this place but only heard about it through the wedding magazines that my wife reads. None of my friends or family members had ever been here or heard about this place beforehand. It is an old building in Ybor city that at one time was a clinic and is now a remodeled hotel. It is a very average hotel with poor service and management. We rented all 16 (I believe they have 16) hotel rooms on my wedding night 6 months before our wedding only to find out 2 months before our wedding that they had rented them out to the mayor of Tampa and his crew.

wonderful in Ybor!

The location is super! We were 1/2 block from the new trolley that takes you in to Tampa (aquarium, Habor area, etc.) and Ybor is great for restaurants and entertainment. The rooms were lovely and the host gracious!

Pros: good parking, great area
