Beachfront · Gulf views · Hilton brand

Best for guests who want a straightforward Gulf-front beach stay with private balconies and easy access to St. Pete–Clearwater Beaches.

Quick Verdict: Tampa Marriott Water Street vs DoubleTree Beach Resort

When Tampa Marriott Water Street wins: choose the Marriott if you want a central downtown base for events, convention business, Tampa Riverwalk access, a variety of on-site restaurants and a rooftop pool plus access to Spa by JW via the skybridge.

When DoubleTree Beach Resort wins: pick DoubleTree when a Gulf-front beach location, private balconies with gulf or city views, simpler beach-focused amenities (beach bar, pool, beach volleyball) and proximity to John's Pass matter more than downtown nightlife or convention proximity.

Bottom line: both are branded, approachable Florida hotels; Marriott is the downtown, amenities-forward choice for meetings and dining variety, while DoubleTree Beach Resort is the straightforward beachfront option for beach-first stays.

Location: Downtown Riverwalk vs Gulf beachfront

Tampa Marriott Water Street – Location

Tampa Marriott Water Street sits on the Tampa Riverwalk and is within walking distance of the convention center, arena and river attractions.

  • Direct Riverwalk access and short walks to Amalie Arena and the Tampa Convention Center
  • Water taxis, TECO streetcar stop and downtown walkability to museums and restaurants
  • City setting — beach day trips require a drive of roughly 40–60 minutes

Pick Marriott for downtown convenience, transit options and quick access to Tampa attractions.

DoubleTree Beach Resort – Location

DoubleTree Beach Resort is located at 17120 Gulf Blvd on North Redington Beach directly on the Gulf of Mexico.

  • Immediate beach access and on-site beach bar/volleyball
  • Short drive to John's Pass Village & Boardwalk and nearby Gulf beaches
  • More car-dependent for Tampa city attractions and downtown activities

Choose DoubleTree for direct beach access and a quieter Gulf-front location away from downtown Tampa.

Rooms: downtown variety vs balcony-focused guestrooms

Tampa Marriott Water Street – Rooms

Marriott offers a wide mix of guest rooms and suites, some with balconies and specialty Stay Well rooms.

  • Multiple room types including Deluxe Room, Balcony and Suite, 1 Bedroom, Balcony
  • Some rooms include Stay Well features and water-view options
  • On-site perks like in-room dining, pet-friendly rooms (fee) and accessible room options

Marriott is better if you want more room-type choices and some suites with separate living space.

DoubleTree Beach Resort – Rooms

DoubleTree’s 125 guestrooms emphasize private furnished balconies and gulf or city views in many room types.

  • Room names include Room, 2 Queen Beds, Balcony (Gulf View) and multiple accessible balcony options
  • Junior Suite, 1 King Bed, Balcony (Gulf View) is available
  • Pillowtop beds, refrigerators and LCD TVs are listed in the supplier notes

Tampa Marriott Water Street – Dining & drinks

Tampa Marriott Water Street has a sizable on-site dining lineup covering coffee, ice cream, seafood, Mexican and poolside service.

  • PERK coffee bar, Bright Ice ice cream and Pool Bar & Grill for poolside bites
  • In-room dining via A La Carte and multiple meal-time options for groups and events

Marriott is the choice if you want multiple on-site restaurants and varied dining experiences without leaving the hotel.

DoubleTree Beach Resort – Dining & drinks

DoubleTree Beach Resort features ocean-view dining at Coconut Charlie's and offers two bars/lounges and pool/beach service.

  • Coconut Charlie's serves American cuisine with ocean views and limited room service hours
  • Two bars/lounges and a beach bar/poolside bar provide casual drink options
