Embracing each #EpicMoment as it comes |
As General Manager Tom Haines explained during our three hour tour and sit down, the original vision for the hotel was completely unique. A partnership between Mainsail Lodging and Development and the Legendary Bern’s Steak House of Tampa, the two have successfully paired together as perfectly as well… food and wine.
To completely get a grasp for the concept of the hotel, it’s best to understand the context via the history of the culinary genius that was Bern Laxer. Having known very little of Bern’s Steak House previous to the trip, we eagerly accepted a private tour, venturing into some rarely visited behind the scenes areas. After exploring the birth place of Bern’s vision and legacy, we were overwhelmed by the sheer vastness of his accomplishments. He was truly a visionary ahead of his time.
How appropriate that directly across the street a virtual Mecca for lovers of food, art, and culture would come into fruition as the hotel Epicurean.
