St. Petersburg Hotels
Located on the Gulf side of Florida, along the eastern edge of Pinellas Peninsula, lies the beautiful city of St. Petersburg. The city has not always been known for its family appeal, like some of Florida’s other vacation spots but in recent years has added many St Petersburg hotels to accommodate family vacationers. St Pete used to conjure up thoughts of old people and retirees playing shuffle board but this is changing. It close proximity to popular spring break beaches (only about a half hour from Clearwater Beach or Treasure Island Beach, in the other direction) has St Petersburg hotels bustling with college kids every March. St. Petersburg beaches are just as great.
Though there are still plenty of areas that remain ‘retired’ St. Petersburg is another one of those cities who has worked hard to change its image to appeal to all ages. One of those ways was through the St. Petersburg hotel industry and offering grand stand promotions such as St. Petersburg hotel deals (adding bonuses such as a room along with dinner and tickets to an attraction or two).
Vacationers have become aware of the white sands against the sparkling blue skies and year round fun the hotels of St. Petersburg have to offer. Possibly one of the most impressive of the St. Petersburg hotels is The Don Cesar which sets across the bay between St. Petersburg Beach and Pass a Grille Beach along Gulf Blvd. Sporting two ballrooms, 24 hour full room service and a 24 hour fitness center, it, along with a host of other St. Petersburg hotels cater to every age group.
Sirata Beach Resort, another St. Petersburg hotel offers excellent service, multiple pools, parasailing, beaches with cabanas, breathtaking sunsets, and a couple of its own St. Petersburg hotel deals.
As with other hotels in St. Petersburg, establishments like the Marriott, Holiday Inn, the Hampton Inn, Ramada, and the Pier Hotel cater to the families, or those traveling for business. , If you are not interested in just lying around or playing on a beach all day you can easily walk to several lounges for cocktails or grille/cafes severing breakfast, lunch, and dinner from these St. Pete hotel locations. Most hotels in St. Petersburg are less than 10 minutes from downtown and attractions such as Salvador Dali‘s Museum (which offers free tours whenever there is enough people), art galleries, shopping, and plenty of festivals.
St. Petersburg hotel deals offer special rates for groups while promoting an array of water sports, deep sea fishing, special cruises with dolphins in mind and plenty of newly revamped Pier action. Amenities at these hotels in St. Petersburg include such things as paddle boats, high speed wireless (Wi-Fi) internet and of course, gift shops with plenty of post cards to send home.
Most of the St. Petersburg hotel activities are kid friendly with kid menus, and supervised recreation. Such is the sands of Treasure Island sporting beach volleyball, inflatable water slides and even a local pirate!
Guests at the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront Hotel, another of the St. Petersburg hotels in the waterfront area offers a full service spa and beauty salon, as well as, the more standard amenities, and the convenience of the waterfront and plenty of yacht clubbers.
Just two blocks from the pier and park is the BayWalk. The BayWalk is a mini shopping center with restaurants, bars (for adults) and a megaplex movie theater with IMAX movies. St. Petersburg hotel deals can be arranged over the phone or online for your convenience.
