The best available hotels & places to stay near St. Pete Beach

June 30, 2022 Alida England

Sugary-white sand, dolphins frolicking just off shore and eight major barrier islands make St. Pete Beach a postcard-perfect seaside destination. Situated on a peninsula off Florida's west coast, it balances its oceanfront charms with top-notch art museums, including the largest collection of Salvador Dali paintings outside of Spain. Kayak through the calm waters, take a ferry to nearby Caladesi Island State Park to experience the state's wild beauty or stroll the rapidly gentrifying downtown for one-of-a-kind cafes.

Postcard Inn

Postcard Inn on the Beach is in the business of happy memories. The days when road trips ruled and beach vacations were a treasured ritual are still in style here. Enormous pool, games, and lively common areas for chilling, chatting and sipping a cocktail. Our retro-chic design is a bit quirky, a tad witty, and always colorful. A friendly vibe infuses the whole place.

Steven was awesome at PCI!

Steven at PCI was a complete delight. My trip was split between work and pleasure so with that I had to take care of business while away from the office. He assisted me from everything when it came to printing off docs to help accommodate anything we needed in regards to parking and our rooms. Always a professional attitude with an upbeat spirit. Thanks to Steven for helping us navigate all our questions and fulfill our request during our stay!

Great place to get together with friends

Reviewed By W357UAryans

Just returned from a great couple of day's at the Saint with a group of old friends. The Staff went above and beyond to make our group's time enjoyable, always around to ask if there is anything we needed. The hotel itself was neat and a bit quirky, with everything we needed (although we spent more time by the pool than in the rooms). We also had a common room, which was stocked and kept nice and neat by the staff even. A nice touch was the gift on the house to recognize what we were celebrating. The pool is really nice with great chairs to lounge in and good music/lighting. Spent a lot of time there, although if you want a really good beach it was only a short walk away. We ordered a lot from the hotel restaurant and everything was really good. Seemed to be a lot of people eating there when it was nice out, which livened up the place. Thanks to Matt and Randy, the servers, and the house keeping staff (Susie) for a great stay.

I cannot stop talking about this place! It was a family vacation 2 adults and 3 small children. Ages ranges from 6 to 5 months. We booked the deluxe suite and it was amazing? plenty of room for all 5 of us. Service was great in the hotel, pool area, all the restaurants, and the beach area. Honestly cannot complain about one thing. We stayed the whole weekend there. Room was cleaned every day. So many activities for everyone. We rented the jet skis. It was just an amazing getaway from reality.

The wife and I are First Responders and we just wanted a night away from the kids. Stayed Saturday night and all day Sunday. Perfect little get away and we enjoyed ourselves very much! The front desk young lady named Alexis was so pleasant and helped me with all my needs. They are very limited on parking onsite but everyone was very nice and assisted in finding a place very close to park. We will be back!

I gathered with friends and family for a gathering at the Hilton for 4 days and we had an amazing time! Check in was pleasant and easy with rooms ready early. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time at the hotel and did not feel a need to leave. During the day we relaxed at Cabanas on beach or at the pool. There were plenty of towels and bottled water provided. We ate at the Tiki bar during the day. Tito took great care of us day after day even when we came back at night! We enjoyed Breakfast daily at Coconut Charlie’s where Sonya always greeted us with a smile -she was great! Josh made my friends and I perfect Martinis and Cosmos in the evening with dinner. All of his food recommendations were spot on! We were extremely happy with everything and the staff made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back!

The Hotel Zamora

The first new hotel to be built in St. Pete Beach in decades, Hotel Zamora is a white-washed Mediterranean palace that though breathtakingly modern feels anchored in a bygone era. Inspired by the architecture of its namesake Spanish province, the hotel's striking Romanesque facade is the framework for expansive luxury suites with "balconies overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf of Mexico," stylish dining and the laid-back leisure of Florida's fashionable Tampa Bay.

Hotel Zamora nice… beautiful hotel

Reviewed By amyreinbolt1

Staff was very nice. Service in restaurant was slow but food and drinks were great. Just felt like a lot of $$ and then small things like beach umbrellas weren’t available, tons of undercover parking and they park our cars in Florida sun. Went to get food at the bar at 9:30pm on Saturday and they couldn’t give us anything said kitchen was closed. Beautiful place tons of potential but worry they got hit like so many in hospitality withe the pandemic.
