Don Cesar Lobby

There's no mistaking the Don Cesar Beach Resort and Spa. Instantly known as Florida's Pink Castle when it opened back in 1928, this ten-story hotel sits on the sugary sands of St. Pete Beach, an island in the Gulf of Mexico. Originally named for the chivalrous Don Ce-Sar in Vincent Wallace's light opera Maritana , the Don (as it is locally known) was built by Thomas Rowe, who spared no expense on this balcony- and terrace-lined building.

Marble fountains, lofty ceilings and rich furnishings are just a few of the alluring details of this grand resort, most with views of the Gulf of Mexico or Boca Ciega Bay. With easy access to the beach, golf shuttles, two pools, a full-service fitness center and spa, children's activities, daily sailing programmes and waverunning clinics, here you'll never run out of fun stuff to do..

Retaining its original 1920s Jazz Age style. Crystal chandeliers and a spiral staircase lend grandeur to the expansive reception area. A fine-dining venue, the nautically themed Maritana Grille, specialises in Florida-Caribbean cuisine and houses saltwater aquariums stocked with indigenous fish. Walls of windows open onto the surrounding beach at the Sea Porch Café where light Caribbean- and Mediterranean-influenced dishes are prepared. The Beachcomber Bar and Grill serves poolside drinks and appetisers. You're sure to enjoy the live music from the resort's lobby bar five days a week.

This relatively low-rise property offers 277 guestrooms furnished with wrought-iron beds draped with Egyptian-cotton linens and down bedding. The luxury bathrooms contain curved shower rods and granite vanities, high tech features in these traditional hotel rooms flat-panel televisions, MP3 adaptors and wireless Internet access.
