The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, Autograph Collection
11 Reviews
Famous for its treasured history, signature pink façade and prime waterfront location on sparkling Tampa Bay in downtown St. Pete, The Vinoy Resort and Golf Club has a refreshed look and new amenities worthy of a luxe vacation or fabulous staycation.
Now part of Marriott Bonvoy’s Autograph Collection Hotels, and the only Autograph property in St. Pete, the 354-room resort gleams as a result of its renovation, which sought to restore it to its original grandeur and preserve its Mediterranean Revival style, reflecting its glamorous history dating back nearly 100 years.
Renovating a Downtown Icon
Begun in 2021, the first phase of The Vinoy’s renovations was completed March 2023. It includes new touches to The Vinoy’s legendary Veranda; a reimagined arrival court and grand lobby; refurbished guest rooms, ballrooms and meeting spaces; new dining experiences; and a new spa and wellness area.
The Vinoy’s Rich History
To appreciate the new enhancements, guests will want to learn about the storied past of this iconic hotel, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and is a member of Historic Hotels of America. The Vinoy opened to great fanfare on New Year’s Eve 1925. In its heyday, the hotel hosted a wide range of notable guests, from presidents to A-list celebrities and athletes.
Welcoming New Beginnings
Step inside the grand lobby, where elements of the past and present mingle at every turn. Admire the hotel’s original cypress wood-beam ceilings and ceramic tiles, which have been refurbished, while the space also sparkles with new chandeliers and other contemporary design elements. It’s worth taking a peek inside the newly refined Grand Ballroom to see a shimmering blown-glass chandelier crafted by glass master Dale Chihuly – it has been restored to its former glory.
Embracing the Past
The introduction to the hotel’s past begins at check-in. Guests are presented with postcards that showcase hotel scenes throughout the years, and team members share their favorite memories of the hotel. Guests can take a tour of the resort with a docent and stop by the newly revamped history gallery on the mezzanine level. It’s filled with old photos and artifacts from the hotel’s past.
Revitalized Guest Rooms
Escape to reinvigorated guest rooms and suites, where walls are now dotted with custom paintings and coastal-inspired carpets recall the sand meeting the sea. Most bathrooms feature marble walk-in showers. Other amenities include a coffee station and an elegant dressing area.
Refreshed Public Spaces
Always a favorite gathering spot of guests, the hotel’s picturesque front porch is scattered with custom-designed rocking chairs and is home to a new bar. Spend the day sunning on the revitalized pool deck, fitted with lush plantings and private cabanas; peruse the new lifestyle boutique Sunni Spencer, a popular Tampa Bay clothing store; then retreat to the soothing full-service spa, which has been transformed into a wellness oasis designed for indulging in holistic treatments inspired by the ocean’s therapeutic qualities. If you want to get moving, maintain your workout routine at the fitness center, which sports Peloton bikes, take a daily group fitness class, hit the tennis courts or play a round on the 18-hole championship golf course.
Diverse Dining Experiences
Start your day with coffee and house-made pastries at Lottie, the lobby’s newly opened French patisserie, or stop back later in the day for macarons and gelato. The recently rejuvenated Veranda is the perfect spot for sipping a craft cocktail and savoring Mediterranean-inspired fare while overlooking the bay. Joining the Vinoy’s existing restaurants – Paul’s Landing and The Vinoy Club Grill – the new concept Parasol is a poolside restaurant serving Latin-American-inspired cuisine paired with panoramic views of the waterfront that will open in summer 2023. Down the road, a new fine-dining restaurant with a raised garden terrace will complete the final phase of renovations.
Prime Location for Exploring Downtown St. Pete
Grandly fronting Vinoy Park along Tampa Bay, The Vinoy offers stunning waterfront views and the ultimate in walkability. Step outside the hotel for easy access to world-class museums including the Dalí Museum and the James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art, as well as the lively St. Pete Pier District, craft breweries and scores of restaurants.
