HISTORIC HOTELS
Historic Gulf Coast architecture and character meet modern-day amenities in St. Pete-Clearwater. At The Don CeSar hotel on St. Pete Beach, that blend comes to life through the building’s iconic pink facade, art deco details and resort-style offerings, from beachfront pools to full-service spa experiences. At the Fenway Hotel in Dunedin, Jazz Age history meets laid-back, waterfront charm at this boutique stay where you can cool off at the pool or rent a bike to explore the Pinellas Trail. Founded just over a century ago, the Safety Harbor Resort & Spa offers a restorative escape at its 50,000-square-foot wellness retreat, while the resort’s elegant rooms overlook Tampa Bay sunrises.
RELAX IN REFINED COMFORT
Unwind at one of Clearwater Beach’s newest luxury resorts, Opal Sol, or explore sister properties Opal Sands Resort and Sandpearl Resort. From sun-splashed pool decks overlooking the Gulf to private cabanas, indulgent spa experiences and an on-site gallery at Opal Sands, these resorts are luxury at their finest. With a rooftop poolside lounge and Gulfside dining, Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Suites is the perfect spot to rejuvenate while taking advantage of spa treatments inspired by the sea. Steps from the sugar-white sands of Clearwater Beach, the Wyndham Grand elevates getaways with private poolside lounging and a standout dining experience at its signature restaurant, Ocean Hai.
CITY SHOWSTOPPERS
If a city-centered stay is calling, The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club in downtown St. Pete blends waterfront views with a prime location just steps from some of the area’s top-rated museums and attractions. If looking for a more playful vibe, head over to Moxy St. Pete for a modern stay that’s surrounded by energetic nightlife and local dining. With its restored art deco design, the Avalon Hotel in St. Pete is a unique destination that channels the city’s cultural scene.
FUN FOR ALL AGES
Families can enjoy both a dedicated children’s pool and a beachfront pool at Clearwater Beach Sheraton Resort on Sand Key, all set beside the natural beauty and walking paths of nearby Sand Key Park and its surf-friendly shoreline. Nestled between Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach, Holiday Inn & Suites Harbourside is conveniently located near Indian Rocks Beach, where a local trolley service connects the barrier islands and nearby attractions like John’s Pass Village. At RumFish Beach at TradeWinds in St. Pete Beach, guests can set out on a paddleboat or another on-the-water adventure before returning to shore for more fun, whether that’s playing in the on-site arcade, joining a hands-on craft class or enjoying a family-friendly pirate show.
COZY BED-AND-BREAKFAST RETREATS
Welcome to a slice of paradise at the Meranova Guest Inn in historic downtown Dunedin, where a hidden garden offers a peaceful place to absorb nature, the pool invites restful afternoons, and nearby boutiques and restaurants are just a short stroll away. Overlooking Boca Ciega Bay in Gulfport, the Sea Breeze Manor Inn offers a serene waterfront stay where guests can catch a glimpse of manatees drifting by or relax on the private balconies with views of the bay or tropical gardens.
LGBTQ+ FRIENDLY ACCOMMODATIONS
For travelers looking to stay at LGBTQ-owned properties, St. Petersburg offers a variety of options. Located on Central Avenue in the heart of St. Pete’s Grand Central District, the Mari Jean Hotel has evolved since opening, with renovated guest rooms featuring updated furnishings and a more inclusive design for the spectrum of LGBTQ+ identities.
