City Showstoppers
Want to be right in the heart of the action? Set your sights on one of downtown St. Pete’s hotels. Stay just steps away from the shopping and dining options on Beach Drive at the Birchwood Inn – and don’t forget happy hour at its rooftop bar overlooking the St. Pete Pier. LGBTQ+ travelers will love the Mari Jean Hotel, an adults-only resort with its own pool bar, The Wet Spot, and nearby club, COCKtail St. Pete. The new Mint House in St. Pete boasts amenities like contactless check-in and grocery-stocked kitchens, and is right next to the bars, boutiques and breweries of the trendy Edge District.
Family-friendly Fun
Traveling with the whole crew? The Vacation Rental Alliance of the Tampa Bay Beaches can help you find the perfect condominium, suite or beachfront hang to suit your family vacation. Whether you seek extra space to spread out, a furnished balcony for bonding time or kitchens big enough to whip up dinner together, you’ll find it here. There are even pet-friendly rentals that can welcome your four-legged friends – along with nearby eateries, bars and boutiques where you can bring them along for the fun.
Beautiful Bedand- Breakfasts
Looking to explore Greek culture in Tarpon Springs? Settle in at the charming 1910 Inn, which offers hospitality and delicious food right by the historic Sponge Docks, Sunset Beach and the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art. For those searching for a cozy stay near the sand and surf, the Laughing Lizard in Indian Rocks Beach boasts afternoon wine tastings and artsy Key West-inspired lodging.
One-of-a-Kind Boutique Hotels
Hotel Zamora transports visitors to a Mediterranean- inspired world complete with its own rooftop that offers a 360-degree view of St. Pete Beach.
