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 wanted to love the Vinoy, but the trip fell short for a number of reasons. Had to request maid service almost every day. Our toilet and bathroom sinks did not function properly. Toilet was fixed, but sink issue persisted. Our safe didn’t work and had to be replaced, which caused us to be an hour late for an excursion we booked. I completely understand that things happen, but we never heard from a manager to confirm that bathroom issues were resolved and no consideration was extended for our trouble. Beautiful historic property, but service fell short. The biggest inconvenience was learning my daughter could not access the locker room to shower on our day of departure. I called down the day before check out and specifically asked if my 9 yr old daughter could use the facilities and was told she could, only to learn the day of that she wasn’t old enough. This was a major inconvenience. Read less

What a beautiful resort! The pool, spa and lobby bar and coffee bar outstanding. Spa and all staff very lovely! Esp Jeffrey in the lobby. Our room was gorgeous and renovated! Great housekeeping as well. The special amenity on Easter sunday of the chocolates was five star. A real WOW! We celebrated Easter and anniversary here. I gave it one minus star due to the Paul's Landing restaurant. This restaurant is very beautiful overlooking the marina and pool but the service needs serious work. Staff is not well trained and the food takes forever. We did eat there multiple times because there are not many restaurants on site. Soon an upscale lounge and restaurant will open and I hope they have better training as the atmosphere and beautiful of the resort is unmatched. Also great location to many St. Pete gems as it is bustling now as a city. Read less

Very underwhelmed. The location is outstanding. The hotel is beautiful. But my excitement ended there. The room was nothing special. On our 1st day there, the room never got cleaned until 6pm. We were very unhappy with the Wi-Fi situation. We attempted to sign up for FREE wi-fi, only to find out you are charged $12.95 per day for Wi-Fi, that will be deducted at check out if you are a member. Seriously? I can go to a Holiday Inn and get Wi-Fi without all the jumping through hoops. We were charged an extra guest fee of $20 per day plus fees because we had 3 people in our room. At check out we questioned some if the charges and were told they don’t charge an extra guest fee. They removed $68 from the bill, but had we not questioned some charges we would have paid something we should not have. Bottom line, we won’t be staying at the Vinoy St. Petersburg again. Read less
