About

The Historic Le Meridien Tampa Courthouse is a dream venue for any special occasion.

Le Méridien Tampa is located in a historic courthouse that features stunning architecture, marble hallways, and original oak doors from when the building was established in 1905. Newly renovated in 2023, this century-old Historic Federal Courthouse has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind hotel in the heart of downtown Tampa.

The iconic Grand Ballroom has been repurposed as an elegant event venue for receptions, dinners, or weddings. Our boutique hotel's 130 exquisite guest rooms and suites blend historic features with inviting comforts and state-of-the-art technology to ensure memorable experiences in downtown Tampa. The hotel offers a diverse art collection and historic pieces throughout the entire property, adding character and charm to the venue and creating an inspiring atmosphere for you and your guests.

Our Grand Ballroom can accommodate up to 130 guests and boasts stunning views, ample natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, modern gold chandeliers, hand-stampled ceilings, and a marbled foyer that sets the perfect backdrop for a memorable event.

We offer Wedding Packages that are customizable for your wedding needs! We also host wedding Rehearsal Dinners, Welcome receptions, Discounted Rooms, and Suites for Wedding Room Blocks with personalized wedding links and Farewell Brunches!

Beautiful wedding!

This was the perfect venue for our wedding! Le Meridien made it easy for us, including catering, rentals, linens, and lodging. Heather, their event coordinator, was phenomenal. We received the highest level of service and could not recommend this place more!

A charming and historical landmark!

We got married at the Le Meridien Tampa on June 12, 2021 and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went! The event manager - Brigid - was a pleasure to work with. She was easygoing and professional from the start, and made us feel very welcome. Brigid was super patient with all our questions throughout the process and during the days just prior to our wedding, especially as we navigated COVID-19 and downsizing our event. Her and the event team worked so well with our day-of-coordinator! It was a dream venue and elevated our intimate wedding event. Even with a small guest list we felt like our day was everything we needed and the space helped make it feel bigger and more sophisticated. The photo opportunities are plentiful to get amazing shots with a lot of different backgrounds. All and all, my husband and I were very happy with this venue and we recommend it to all of our engaged friends. We look forward to hosting a larger celebration next year and working with Brigid again!

Our Perfect Wedding Day

Our wedding day was everything we could have hoped for and more. Brigid and her team were amazing from start to finish. We enjoyed working with her so much! Le Meridien exceeded our expectations and gave us the most perfect wedding. Our guests are still talking about how unique and beautiful the venue is and how great the food was. The hotel was a great place for our family and guests to stay. We loved the bridal suite and the convenience of staying and getting ready on site was a huge factor in our selection of Le Meridien. We were able to do a lot of custom details to make the day a true reflection of the couple that we are, it felt like the possibilities were endless. Planning was a breeze with Brigid. She was responsive, helpful and so friendly! Our ceremony on the front steps was so unique, cocktail hour by the pool was intimate and the ballroom reception was absolutely beautiful and perfectly executed to our exact vision. My husband, parents and I could not be more pleased with our experience with Le Meridien and highly recommend it as a wedding venue for couples are looking for a downtown, city feeling wedding with a historic but modern Tampa element.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
