Where to Stay Near The Annika

For a little splurge, and a one-of-a-kind stay, consider the historic Belleview Inn, just over a mile from the Pelican Golf Club, where the tournament will be held.

If you want to stay right on the beach, you'll find many wonderful hotel options on Clearwater Beach, including the brand-new Opal Sol resort, the JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort, and the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach. Nearby Sand Key, just south of Clearwater Beach, offers some beautiful hotels and resorts, including the Sheraton Sand Key. 

If you're looking for a hotel that's clean, comfortable and budget-friendly, the city of Largo offers several hotel properties on the mainland (but just a short drive from the beach), such as the Hampton Inn & Suites Largo and the Home2 Suites by Hilton Largo.
