In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Seventh Avenue runs outside the door, flanked by brick cigar factories, energetic bars, and Ybor's protected roaming chickens.
The rooms
Wood-tiled floors recall Havana streets, while suites keep exposed historic brick and balconies over Seventh Avenue.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated pool sits inside a central brick courtyard beneath tall palms, illuminated by candles after dark.
The gym and cabanas
Stationary bikes line tall arched windows along the street. In the courtyard, white daybed cabanas sit against the brick walls.
Restaurant
Flor Fina
The kitchen cooks Gulf seafood over a wood-fire grill. At the bar, bartenders smoke rum cocktails inside cigar boxes.
Hotel Haya is buzzy. Opened in 2020 as part of the Aparium hotel group—known for its independent lifestyle hotels celebrating each location’s character—Haya has become a community hive of visitors and locals.
