The signature coral-pink walls of The Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club rise seven stories above the waterfront in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. Built in 1925, the illustrious Mediterranean-revival hotel began its life by hosting wealthy travelers seeking escape from winters up north. Today, the AAA Four Diamond property offers an equally compelling destination year-round, whether for business travelers, vacationers, or groups of up to 1,500 attendees.
Waves of renovations preserved the grande dame’s character and charm over the years — while keeping the amenities up to date. Those amenities complement the 362 guest rooms and suites, all with fresh, new looks, state-of-the-art technology, and other Marriott hallmarks. Guests dine at six food and beverage outlets, including Paul’s Landing, a waterfront restaurant that offers locally sourced seafood, indoor and outdoor seating, and wonderful views of Tampa Bay. Groups meet in more than 40,000 square feet of event space, including the meticulously restored Vinoy Grand Ballroom and ultramodern Palm Court Ballroom.
For free-time fun, the hotel boasts two pools, a tennis club, a fitness center, a day spa, and a marina. While a shuttle whisks golfers to the 18-hole course on Snell Isle and beach lovers to nearby sand on the gulf, the meetings team customizes sightseeing outings for others. Also available are docent-led tours of the hotel, which has been beloved for 90 years by everyone from Calvin Coolidge to George Clooney.

Best hotel in the St. Petersburg/Tampa area. Staff is friendly, food is delicious and the rooms have a historic charm. Ideal for weddings.
Overall Rating: 5.0/5

Able to host large conventions. Lots of meeting space contained on 2 floors. Overnight rooms are housed in 2 towers. One tower has the meeting space and the other tower requires a very short walk, but you have to go outside. Even so, I fell in love with this place. Historic, but has a funky vibe. Located in such a safe and charming district. Tons of restaurants, boutiques and incredible art museums just steps away. I was really impressed with downtown St. Petersburg. If your group is into golf, the course is not located on the property. You have to take a shuttle.
Overall Rating: 4.9/5

Beautiful historic hotel in the heart of St. Pete. Great, safe, cool downtown. Walked to several awesome restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, etc. Great dining options in-house too. Meeting space is located on 2 floors. Only 2 drawbacks in my opinion. No fixed registration area and outdoor walk from some of the overnight rooms. Well worth it though.

We just completed our annual symposium. First time at this property and our attendees were in awe. The Vinoy is a beautiful resort. The staff is super friendly. They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. I met with the banquet staff on a daily basis. They provided daily totals of our expenditures, so it was a great way to ensure we were staying on budget. I rated F&B at an 8 only because there was only one breakfast buffet and the prices for all of the buffets were higher than what we have been paying in the past. But, the food was excellent. Accommodations were rated at an 8 only because there are not dressers in the room, so if more than 2 people stay in your room, you are very limited on where to put things. Also, the bathroom has limited space for storage of any toiletries. Overall it was a fantastic experience and everyone in attendance voted to return to the Vinoy for another event.
