I spent last weekend (6-14 to 6/16) at this hotel and found it to be very nice with an old world feel. To those complaining about the condition, remember that the majority of this building is very old and they are doing updates. If you want a newer feel, I would recommend requesting a room in the new tower portion... More

First of all, just driving to get to this hotel was an indication of the great location of this hotel. It is right by the bay & walking distance to downtown St. Pete. Parking was a bit of a walk from our room but it wasn't a big deal. Check in area was small but luckily there was no one... More

Before staying at the Vinoy, I read several reviews that rated it poor/fair due to service. I decided to stay despite those negative reviews because I was so interested in the Vinoy's history that I was willing to put up with lousy service. As it turned out, the service, and everything else, was so good that the Vinoy is now... More

From the moment we checked in with the very friendly front dest agent who upgraded us because it was my birthday, to going up to the spacious and clean room with a view straight from heaven, walking to cafes and museums and the harbor, this is one amazing hotel and location! Gorgeous. Oh and did I mention the old world... More

This formerly grand structure is still just formerly grand. My room smells of paint but doesn't look freshly painted. The bathroom is very 70's (not sure whether i mean 1970's but i think i do) and then, adding insult to injury, there's no hair dryer so Housekeeping offered to "send one right up" about 15 minutes ago. I hope i'm... More

My husband and I spent a night at this lovely hotel. We checked into our room and then had cocktails and appetizer at the bar in the lobby. Shantell(tending the bar) was a wealth of information regarding city of St. Petersburg and the various places to dine in the area. All service at the hotel was given personnal touch. The... More

Downtown St. Pete has changed a lot in the last few years. You'll find numerous restaurants, cafes, gelato shops, and boutiques so that after arriving at the Vinoy, a car is unnecessary. But the hotel, despite boasting a renovation costing $93 mil., needs better up-keep and better training of staff. If you are considering visting St. Pete, I recommend the... More

As can often be the case with 5 star hotels the service is inconsistent to the rating and therefore let's the hotel down. I can get nice rooms and a pool in a number of hotels in the St Petes/Clearwater but here thought I'd get top class service. Couldn't have been more wrong. Restaurant staff at breakfast were too busy... More

I was so happy to read of your compliments about the beauty of our resort, but as you can imagine, I wish we would have had the opportunity to discuss the shortcomings that you mentioned while you were here. It is always disheartening to learn that a guest was not happy with their stay after the fact. I would love... More

Recently I had the chance to spend two nights at the Vinoy in St. Pete and had a great time. The hotel is beautiful, a true "classic," with an attentive, helpful, and caring staff.
