Oozing with impeccable style inside and out, The Saint Hotel recently opened its doors in St. Pete Beach a short walk from Upham Beach.

The circular building that houses the Bellwether has long been a St. Pete Beach landmark (same goes for Spinners, the revolving rooftop restaurant on the 12th floor). A new name and extensive renovations have given this beloved beachfront hotel a gorgeous refresh. Great amenities abound here, including a beach bar, a pool and beach cabanas, as do the million-dollar views you'll find at this signature resort.
