History

Gram’s Place is a Hostel Bed and Breakfast located in Tampa FL that was established in 1991 as a result of owner Mark Holland taking a trip to Amsterdam.

Impressed by the tolerant nature of Amsterdam and receiving the Dutch “Gram Parsons Award” created by Henk Korsten of the Netherlands, recognizing Parsons as the official God Father of Country Rock Music, Mark set out with a dream: The idea was to bring all people together through music, the international language.

We have quiet, restful MUSIC THEMED Tampa Hostel Rooms and a simulated RAILROAD Station Depot with SLEEPER CAR as our Coed Dorm. In the Tampa Bay Area and all of Florida everything happens outdoors, that’s why we have remodeled  sunning deck and oversized heated in-ground Jacuzzi. For the late evening hours, guests meet & greet at our all favourite BYOB Bar “Parson’s Pub”.

Gram’s Place Hostel is happy to offer:

FREE of charge (based on availability):

Bicycles: Explore Tampa’s Neighborhoods by bike. The public buses transport the bikes too..

Kayaks: The Hillsborough River and the calm waters surrounding Harbor Island and Davis Island, are ideal for kayakers of any experience level.
