Dramatically perched atop wind-swept dunes with expansive views of the sparkling Gulf of Mexico and St. Pete Beach in every direction, the fully renovated Don CeSar is the epitome of classic American glamour and sophistication. Having completed a luxurious property enhancement in 2021, the Don beckons new and old generations with its unique architecture, modern art-deco interior design and subtle winks to its storied roots. From its inception in 1928, the hotel has been a mainstay on Florida’s Gulf Coast and the seaside playground for all from the elites of the Jazz Age to today’s distinguished traveler. Whether you’re looking to relax poolside, indulge in a spa treatment, explore luxurious retail boutiques, or find your refuge on the beach, the remodeled and iconic Pink Palace® has it all. Bask in nonstop sunshine and luxury in a place where seven miles of sugar-white shoreline is equally breathtaking from a lounge chair or your private guestroom balcony.
