It's exciting for Tampa to have its first five-star hotel, which is the Tampa EDITION. If you've stayed at both the Tampa and Miami EDITION hotels, you'll know they have signature luxury decor and design, restaurants with amazing food prepared by award-winning chefs, and great bars for cocktails.

But there are some key differences. Both hotels are very chic and cater to tourists and locals, alike. Here's how they differ. The lobby in the Tampa EDITION is so green! Plants are everywhere! There are many more plants than there are places to sit down.

The hotel in Miami is on South Beach so you can enjoy oceanfront views and go take a dip in the Atlantic. In Tampa, the hotel is on Channelside Drive. It's right across from Amalie Arena on one side and Water Street restaurants, including Boulon, on the other. You can visit Tampa and enjoy everything downtown has to offer. It's all relatively close. If you are going to a South Beach restaurant, it may be a 25-minute Uber ride if it's at the other end of South Beach.

There are seven restaurants and bars, including a gorgeous rooftop bar. The lobby is stunning. There is so much greenery and elegance everywhere. You'll see the design and be blown aways.

What I absolutely love about the Miami EDITION is the ice-skating rink and bowling alley. They are on the lower level, and there's also a fancy bar inside the bowling alley. Such a cool place to take the whole family. The music, food, and special effects were outstanding.

Whether you are enjoying a visit to an EDITION Hotel on Florida's east coast ore west coast, you will definitely have a great time.

And I say that in a complimentary way.

So many beautiful fronds and ferns at the Tampa EDITION. You feel like you could get lost in them. It's like a jungle.

Love this spot.
