Home to some of the best beaches in America, Clearwater is a great family beach destination. Sure, it’s in Florida, but it’s not Giant Rodent Florida (a.k.a. Orlando) or Crazy Spring Break Florida (a.k.a. Fort Lauderdale). Rather, it’s Calm, Old-Fashioned Florida… which is something worth seeing. Oh, and the weather’s outstanding.

Pier House 60 has the perfect central location on Clearwater Beach! We are positioned directly across the street from the soft, white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and are also within a short walking distance to popular area restaurants, shops, and attractions. Clearwater Beach boasts some of the most scenic sunsets in the world, and the perfect place to view to witness their beauty is at our Rooftop Bar, Jimmy’s Crow’s Nest. We have been consistently named the number one Rooftop Bar in the Tampa Bay area! The bar is located outdoors on the 10th floor, providing panoramic views of the Gulf, beach, island and marina. With delicious food and an endless assortment of cold, tropical beverages, it's easy to spend long nights here soaking up the views and enjoying sports or music videos on our TV projection system that spans the entire wall. Guest rooms at Pier House 60 are spacious and functional and have in room coffee makers, microwaves and mini-fridges, each with a view of the Gulf of Mexico and beach, or the marina and Intracoastal Waterway. Additional amenities featured at the hotel include an outdoor swimming pool, a complimentary breakfast, fitness room, business center, and free high-speed internet access. The hotel lobby and check in area is located on the 5th floor, above our secure four story parking structure.
We only stayed one night here on our trip to Clearwater however the hotel was great. Good staff, good continental breakfast, clean spacious rooms and a wonderful view of the beach. The hotel is literally next door to the Dock where all the boat tours depart and just across the road from the beautiful beach. Perfect location. My dream was to watch the sun set from Jimmy's bar but unfortunately the weather did not play ball that night ⛈️ and it had to shut for safety but this just gives me another reason to come back and stay again soon though right ?!!

While staying at Shephard's Beach Resort, Toni at the front desk was very accommodating and super friendly. She was very informative on where to go for food and entertainment and loves her job. She undoubtably deserves a raise and we will be returning solely because of her kindness and outlook on life. Toni, thanks for being cool.

Hyatt Regency Clearwater is your residential-like escape just steps away from the Gulf coast and the famous Pier 60. Sprawl out in one of our 286 over-sized rooms, stock your fridge with favorites and dine-in on your spacious balcony. After a sun-drenched day, watch a breathtaking sunset from our 8th floor pool deck, unwind at Sandava Spa or catch a fresh bite at the award-winning SHOR.
This was a family vacation and was very pleased with my entire stay at the Hyatt. Great location relative to the beach even though I did not sit at the beach. I stayed poolside and went swimming in the Gulf everyday. Having stayed at the beach last year was a big advantage to getting around. Never rented a vehicle, used Uber or walked to my dining destinations. The Hyatt set me up w/ transportation from/to Tampa which was very nice. The Hyatt is in a very accessible location. And the staff at the Hyatt was super helpful and friendly. No hassles at all during the trip. Will definitely head back to the Hyatt.

Bathed in golden sunshine, our incredible resort is only steps from stunning Clearwater Beach, recently named America’s Best Beach by TripAdvisor. It’s also across the street from Clearwater Beach Marina, offering access to all boating activities, and steps to Pier 60, known for its sunset celebrations. A stay at our distinctive resort is an unsurpassed experience with a bounty of upscale amenities, including a full-service spa, an outdoor pool and whirlpool spa, a 24/7 fitness center, and multiple dining options. All 343 beautifully designed rooms feature a spectacular view of the water or the nearby marina. Steps away from one of the world's top beaches, you have the freedom to make your stay relaxing and memorable.
My husband and I are part of an organization that allows us to POC as guests at Wyndham Grand. We are beyond grateful for all the help provided by Katie Williams (whom I had the pleasure of coordinating with prior to our stay.) Anna Baker (Bartender) was absolutely wonderful and hospitable upon our arrival. Honestly, I feel as though this resort employs some of the best individuals an establishment could be blessed to have! Everyone is so friendly and smiling, it is impossible not to feel welcomed just upon check-in and throughout the stay :) Keep up the amazing work everyone! You are certainly what helps an already immaculate and beautiful resort to be EVEN MORE exceptional! Thank you to the management team for all your hard work and all you do! We certainly look forward to returning May of next year :)

La Quinta Inn Clearwater Central, a relaxing courtyard hotel, centrally located between Tampa International Airport (TPA) and Clearwater Beach, the Closest Hotel to Spectrum Field and surrounded by many great local restaurants and activities. Offering free Super Fast Wifi, free Continental Deluxe Breakfast, Sparkling pool, Relaxing oversized Hot tub, and a friendly staff ready to make your stay 100% PERFECT!
We stayed here for 2 nights on our first visit to Clearwater, the hotel is situated around 20mins outside of Clearwater Beach, so a short commute if you have a car, but not close to the beach if you have no transport. Check in was quick, friendly and easy and we proceeded to our room – with ample parking. The hotel hallways feel very dated, but hotel staff were all very friendly. The room was large and spacious with amenities including a fridge. We had a nice balcony overlooking the pool and the bathroom was basic but large. Sadly, we had booked a Two Queen room, which in most hotels the beds are large enough for two people, however in this hotel we had to sleep in separate beds as they were on the very small side. The pool complex was nice and well maintained, however on the first night the Jacuzzi was extremely hot, to the point it would have been unsafe to use – ourselves and other guests were unable to get in. A quick phone call to reception to inform them, we then received a follow up call around an hour later by the engineer to say the temperature had been adjusted – great service. The following day we were able to enjoy the Jacuzzi at a more safe and normal temperature! Overall, we enjoyed our stay – and would recommend for those looking for a nice hotel that won’t break the bank.

Room reeked of chemicals. Hair and wet-spots all over the room. TV needed servicing. No room service, even though they have a room service line. Front desk never answered the phone. Maid walked in on us more than once. Cheap, tiny amount of shampoo and conditioner. The water is only luke-warm, not hot or cold. The fridge racks don’t fit, so they fell out and all of our food ended up at the bottom of the fridge. And so on, and so on…

Escape to the beautiful Gulf Coast and enjoy a perfect trip when you stay at Clearwater Beach Marriott Suites on Sand Key in Clearwater Beach, Florida . Our Clearwater Beach hotel's accommodations are all suites, in fact we are Florida's only all-suite Marriott hotel. We offer a special resort experience with suite accommodations overlooking Clearwater Bay and near Sand Key Park, and we provide a casually elegant destination for a family trip or business meeting.
Stayed 2 nights in 2 rooms to close off our family tour of Florida - a return visit for us and our memories were renewed in a positive way - well done Team Marriott…. The all suit hotel is spotless clean and superbly maintained - rooms are a great size and super comfortable in all respects. The team go over and above to make your stay a pleasurable one - from check in to check out. Pool is busy and super nice - bars and food are good - a little pricey but nothing like Miami prices…. We ate in and it was great - also out Maggie Mays across the boardwalk and the Clearsky Cafe for breakfast - with lunch at Frenchys - easy to get out to the main beach area using the free trolley - every 30 mins. Views and atmosphere were super - cocktails and discounted jet skis too - with dolphin spotting a regular occurrence in the bay. Don’t be out off as it’s not in the main beach area - Sand Key is easy to reach and a little more exclusive in our opinion - lower cost and higher standards than other big names in Clearwater. All in - a top hotel in every respect and looking forward to a return.
