Marriott unveils gastronomy-themed Epicurean Hotel in Florida
Marriott Hotels has added a new site to its Autograph Collection with the launch of the Epicurean Hotel in South Tampa, Florida.
The 137-room boutique hotel, which has been developed in partnership with Bern's Steak House and Mainsail Lodging and Development, debuted with a “Grand Awakening Launch” weekend from 17-19 January.
Inspired by the Greek term 'Epicurus' (meaning fine food and drink) the four star Epicurean is pitched as a gastronomic experience, featuring a culinary classroom, rooftop lounge, wine shop, bakery and the Élevage restaurant.
The hotel also includes 5,200sq ft of event space, a ballroom, an outdoor garden terrace, a business centre, a fitness centre with an outdoor pool and a selectively-stocked spa.
Spanning 2,800sq ft, Evangeline Spa features five treatment rooms, including two couple's treatment rooms, a relaxation room, plus manicure and pedicure stations. The spa has been developed and will be managed by WTS International under Ashley Spurlock.
Evangeline will house product lines from FarmHouse Fresh which, in-keeping with the hotel's culinary theme, will offer liquor-based body polishes, including Butter Rum and Bourbon Bubbler.
The spa's second product line from Caudalie - which was founded in the heart of the vineyards in Bordeaux, France - will feature in treatments such as the cabernet massage and the vinoperfect radiance facial.
Mainsail Lodging and Development's president Joe Collier says: “The Epicurean is a perfect addition to Autograph Collection, known for delivering exceptional travel experiences.
“Combine this with Mainsail Lodging and the culinary artistry of Bern’s and you’ve got a finished product that is going to delight our South Tampa neighbours and dazzle travellers from around the world.”
