The Don CeSar

Sometimes referred to as the “Pink Palace,” The Don CeSar is a long-standing icon of St. Pete Beach. Opened in 1928, this hotel has hosted a long line of famous guests including F. Scott Fitzgerald and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Luxurious guest rooms and top-notch service are just the start of an experience here. Walk out onto the soft, white sands of St. Pete Beach (named the No. 1 Beach in America by Tripadvisor in 2021) or enjoy the view from one of the hotel’s two beachfront pools. Foodies will find sophisticated fare at award-winning Maritana and everyone loves the sweet treats and homemade ice cream at Uncle Andy’s Market. The Don CeSar invites late mornings spent sleeping in on plush down, long days lounging on the beach and evenings spent with a cocktail in hand, watching the sun dip below the horizon.
