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.

The Vinoy is a nice resort centrally located in St Pete's. It is right by the harbor and a short walk to downtown and the pier. The hotel is historic but recently renovated. The rooms feel brand new. Beds are quite comfortable, I slept well. Some aspects were problematic - the AC in an adjoining room were noisy. They fixed it but it was still fairly noisy (Room 215/217). There is a pool, gym, spa, tennis, golf and nice ballrooms. Worth a visit if you are in the area. Read less

Johnnie at the valet was very professional. Hotel has had a beautiful facelift and looks stunning for the holidays. We loved the recognition for our ten year anniversary. Chocolate covered strawberries and personal concierge experience ahead of arrival. It was perfect

The hotel has improved greatly since my last stay. It has been remodeled and I was pretty happy with my stay except for the price. Location is good, room was clean: no mold this time, bar area is nice, but maun restaurant is closed under renovation. Would not return unless I didn't have a choice unless prices come down. Over $1k for a one… Read more

We stayed at Vinoy Hotel weekend after Thanksgiving. Place is first class. There’s valet parking only but you never wait more than 3-4mins. Checkin was about 2 mins long. Rooms were very specious and super clean - haven’t seen a hotel like this in a while. Location is the best as well - walking distance to everything (beach is 15 mins… Read more

Amazingly wonderful room on the Bay side. Was pleasantly surprised to see the boat parade from our balcony. Bed was comfortable as well as the pillows. Was on 7th floor and not sure if shower needed plunging or not but, after a bit you were standing ankle deep in water. (I forgot to notify the front desk of this upon departure.) Sorry for those who get room 766. This resort does not carry Coke products but, Room Service could get it but, that is basically all. Paul's Restaurant, a bartender went somewhere on the premises to get a 12 pack of Diet Coke for a resort guest but, on a separate evening, a different bartender told me to get it from room service. So much to do the weekend we were there. I would definitely come back to the Vinoy. (I'd bring my own Coke product.)😊 Everything is in walking distance. Read less
