IYKYK: Ybor City Secrets, Curated by Hotel Haya.

For us, Ybor City isn’t just a destination—it’s home. It’s a dynamic, architectural masterpiece where history is an active participant in everyday life.

To honor the cultural fabric of this storied district, we asked someone who knows its soul: Rachel Poole, our Director of Lifestyle and a third-generation Tampa resident. She’s curated an essential guide to experiencing Ybor like a true local.

Think of this as your access to the haunts, hideaways, and happenings that anchor the city’s evolving culture.
