Hotel's Many Services

The Spanish Mission-style building, listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, underwent a renovation of historically accurate dimensions with the addition of two floors.

This property is the perfect stay for city play in Downtown St Petersburg. St Pete is the perfect destination for a fun staycation.

“The location certainly stands out, with sunrise views and walkable access to attractions; while the potential for noise and parking challenges exist, the hotel's assets are clear. I particularly appreciate the Spanish Mission architecture and the allure of the rooftop bar with its panoramic views. It's a property that balances historic charm with a vibrant downtown atmosphere.”
