SUNSHINE STATE TESOL OF FLORIDA


HOTEL INFORMATION


Dear Conference Attendees,

While the 2025 annual SSTESOL conference will be held within the grounds of the University of Tampa (UTampa), there will be no accomodation provided in any of the university dormatories since the Fall semester will be in session and all rooms will be utilized by UT students.

There are many hotels within walking distance of UTampa. These hotels are in the downtown area of Tampa, just across the old drawbridge (see maps below).

Hotels range in price from $125-$150 per night. If you are staying for the full conference, ie; all day Saturday 15th November and half day (until 1pm) Sunday 16th November, we recommend that you drive or fly into Tampa Friday afternoon/evening, stay Friday night as well as Saturday night - don't forget to join the Saturday Evening Tampa Bay/Hillsborough River dinner & dance cruise, then leave on Sunday early pm.

There are also cheaper hotels around Tampa airport, approx. $100 per night, but you will need to catch an Uber to UTampa. This trip is about 10 minutes.

IMPORTANT:

SSTESOL will not block any hotel rooms. It is important that you book your accommodation early!

ALL the hotels listed below offer special UTampa rates.
