Why Couples Love It
Nestled in the heart of Tampa’s vibrant and historic Ybor City, Hotel Haya offers a one-of-a-kind wedding experience that blends vintage charm with modern sophistication. This boutique hotel is known for its stylish Cuban influence, colorful décor, and rich cultural atmosphere — perfect for couples looking to host a celebration that’s full of character and warmth.
Couples love Hotel Haya for its stunning indoor and outdoor spaces. From the airy, plant-filled courtyard to the sleek and artistic Flor Fina restaurant space, every corner is photogenic. The venue’s history as a former 1950s-era hotel adds an authentic layer of charm, and the interiors have been thoughtfully redesigned with contemporary flair.
The hotel’s intimate size also makes it ideal for wedding weekends, giving your guests a true taste of Tampa while being steps away from nightlife, restaurants, and cultural landmarks.
What Makes Hotel Haya Unique
Hotel Haya stands out for its cultural richness and eclectic design. It’s one of the few venues in Tampa where you can exchange vows under palm trees in a European-style courtyard, dine under artful lighting, and toast the night away surrounded by historic brick architecture.
Couples also rave about the hotel’s culinary team and customizable menu options inspired by Latin cuisine. Whether you want a laid-back Cuban-style cocktail hour or a sophisticated multi-course dinner, Hotel Haya delivers a dining experience your guests won’t forget.
Its location in Ybor City means you’re surrounded by vintage cigar factories, colorful murals, and historic streets — all perfect backdrops for wedding portraits.
Pro Tip
Book your ceremony in the courtyard and time your portraits for just before sunset when the soft golden light bounces beautifully off the building’s colorful exterior. Want some added flair? Arrange for a vintage car photo opp or a classic cigar roller to entertain guests during cocktail hour.
