Sure, Florida is practically synonymous with the beach, but sometimes, it’s about more than sand and surf. When you want to dress up in your best suit and be on the scene looking good and having fun by the water—especially if you’ve worked hard on that six-pack this spring—think beyond the waves. Imagine all the glamor of a Vegas pool party, mixed with the hip vibe of a South Beach soiree, and translate that to Tampa’s hottest hotels. Here are two places in Tampa doing pool parties right with the perfect mix of cosmopolitan chic and local flair

Down in SoHo, the Epicurean Hotel hosts Summer SPLASH Sundays every second Sunday at the pool from 1-6 p.m. One of the city’s hippest summer destinations, this event features craft cocktails, beer specials and Big Green Egg BBQ. Float in the pool or move to the tunes of DJ Fresh and the Certified Fresh DJs. Don’t want to mingle with just anybody? That’s OK too. Reserve a VIP section for $250, which gets you bottle service and an outdoor cooling system that can service up to 10 guests. Admission is $15 or at the door and always sells out so be quick to buy tickets. The next Tampa pool party at the Epicurean is July 9th. Pssst - a little birdie told us if you sign up for Epicurean’s monthly newsletter, you get complimentary admission. From their 813area business page navigate to their website to join.
