Who You Are

You are someone who understands the smallest details can make the biggest impact. You know hospital corners aren't just for hospitals, and the perfect crease on a bed sheet makes you smile. When you see a pair of loose shoes, you need to make sure they are perfectly aligned. You love feeling the warmth of freshly laundered linen. It doesn't matter where you are, you can't help yourself from refolding the bathroom towels. Your past experiences have led you to understand that there is art + science to the how and what of preparing and caring for a hotel room. You enjoy the solitude of completing your daily board, but love seeing the smile on a co-workers face when they walk into their last room and find you've already made their last bed. No matter how crazy your day was, you always find time to make sure your cart is ready for the next day.

Who We Are

Hotels done differently. It's not just a slogan or catchphrase, it is who we are in everything we do. We believe in the power of People, Place and Character; ensuring our properties are a place where individuals are valued and celebrated as a tribute to the neighborhoods and the people of the communities in which we operate; elevating our associates' pride in who they are, where they live and who we serve. Located in the heart of historic Ybor, a trolley ride away from downtown Tampa, Hotel Haya is a hub of activity. Blending Cuban, Italian, and Spanish influences, the property features 178 guest rooms, over 7000 square feet of banquet space, a world-class restaurant, airy café, and lush courtyard with a pool. Hotel Haya is managed by Aparium Hotel Group which was founded in 2011. Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically. It is a sophisticated hotel brand known for its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing the disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets.
