Ybor City is a city in Tampa, Florida, that was founded by Spanish and Italian immigrants and Cubans during the late 19th Century. It was home to over 100 cigar factories at one time, earning the nickname of the “Cigar Capital of the World.” Today, café con leche and Cuban sandwich shops Ybor City’s indie vibes, as well as its vibrant LGBTQ+ area, are also known.
Hotel Haya, located in Ybor City, is named for Ignacio Haya, one of the city’s founders.

What’s it like to stay in Hotel Haya?
The Rooms

Hotel Haya has 178 rooms. The basic rooms start at around 300 square feet. This is quite spacious, but if you want to treat yourself, I suggest booking a luxury suite.
I stayed in a Junior Suite with a large balcony and a separate seating area. If you like to people-watch, consider asking for a balcony room that faces 7th Street, so you can look out over the nighttime action—don’t worry, with the balcony door closed, the hubbub won’t keep you awake at night. You can also visit the nearby upscale restaurants for late-night snacks. in-room minibar The store is stocked with all kinds of tasty treats including Moon Pies and other candies.
Food and Drink

Hotel Haya has two restaurants as well as a stylish bar.
On weekends, brunch, lunch, and dinner are served. Flor Fina The restaurant is Latin American in style and will not let you down. Flor Fina’s food is probably the best I’ve had at a hotel restaurant. I felt like I’d died and gone to heaven after I ate the she crab soup, plantain-crusted snapper with a citrus chayote salad. Brunch is just as exciting, with options like maple-whipped ricotta pancake bites, biscuits and gravy, and a Cuban Monte Cristo—the build-your-own mimosa with fruit puree is a must!
For a morning pick-me-up latte, head to Café Quiquiriquí, where you can enjoy empanadas and pastelitos while sipping on café con leche—this is also a great place to work remotely. There’s a complete breakfast and lunch menu with items like fajitas burritos, Cuban toast, and more.
