The hotel

This charming hotel on St Petersburg's waterfront is where the rich and famous took holidays in a long-forgotten era. Verandas and tropical foiliage recall Florida's golden age, when elegance reigned supreme and service was an art form. Overlooking Tampa Bay, it boasts its own private marina, 2 swimming pools, a spa, an 18-hole golf course and a tennis complex to boot. Having earned a place in the National Register of Historic Places, it is a fine example of Mediterranean Revival Architecture with spacious rooms combining the grandeur of the past with modern amenities, including high-speed internet access. Delicious cuisine is assured in the form of award-winning restaurants, as well as casual fare available from the other eateries, and drinks in the Promenade Lounge. Conveniently located in easy reach of local shopping, dining, museums and nightlife, The Vinoy is your ultimate, elegant St Petersburg retreat.

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful time. The rooms are large, clean and well appointed. The pool is beautiful and the service poolside could not be more attentive. I felt like I was in Miami Beach. Perfect location for walking around and checking out all of the cool restaurants. There is only valet parking and it is expensive. I loved our stay here and can’t wait to return. We did Uber one night to St Pete’s beach for sunset which was only 20 minutes away and well worth the trip . Read less

Really nice hotel in the best part of St. Petersburg. Great walking to the water and restaurants. Very nice pool with awesome poolside service. There are electric bikes in the parking garage that you can rent which the kids loved. I was a little worried cause some of the reviews on this hotel were not awesome but, having stayed a nice hotels around the country I’d say this place was worth the price. I looked around and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else if I come back to St. Pete’s Read less

The hotel's accommodations were fantastic-dining, the bars, and spa/gym were top notch. But the staff really made my stay-they went out of there way to help me find a diamond earring I lost and mailed it back to me. Can't say enough about this hotel.

We spent the first part of our anniversary trip here! The only thing I would suggest is better/softer robes!😂 That is all I can come up with! Impeccable experience all around! Clean, excellent staff, and they upgraded us for our Anniversary. We had a newly redone room and it was gorgeous! They have done such a nice job! Room was made up in a timely manner each day, hotel staff was so kind, and the location cannot be beat. We even used the e-bikes to explore! Can’t wait to go back! Read less

We loved our stay at the Vinoy! The hotel itself is historical but has been remodeled. We had a very nice suite overlooking the Marina and Bay! The staff were all very helpful and friendly. I also loved that it’s in a very walkable location- lots of restaurants, galleries, shopping, night life all an easy walk. Would stay again for Sure!
