Vinoy Park Hotel, historic hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida, USA
Vinoy Park Hotel is a four-star hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida, built in the Mediterranean Revival style with red-tiled roofs, arched colonnades, and pale stucco walls. It stands directly on the waterfront of Tampa Bay, offering rooms and public spaces that look out over the water.
The hotel opened in 1925, during a period when St. Petersburg was drawing wealthy visitors from the northeastern United States looking for winter sun. It later fell into disuse and sat empty for years before a major restoration brought it back in the 1990s.
The hotel sits along Tampa Bay and its waterfront terrace is a gathering spot that locals and visitors share naturally. The building's warm pink facade and red-tiled roofs have made it a point of reference in the daily life of St. Petersburg.
The hotel is within walking distance of the waterfront parks and downtown museums, making it a convenient base for exploring the city center on foot. Non-guests can visit some of the public areas, such as the bar and restaurant, without a room reservation.
The hotel has its own marina where guests can dock a boat directly next to the building, something rare for a downtown hotel of this size. This access by water was part of the original design, as many early guests in the 1920s arrived by yacht.
