One of the area's most well-known landmarks, the stately "Don" has been wowing generations of visitors to St Pete Beach for many years. Tucked into a pink palatial Mediterranean-style complex and affectionately dubbed the "Pink Palace," it debuted as a hotel in 1928 at the height of the Great Gatsby era - and was a favorite with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Al Capone, FDR and other notables. Today, it boasts lavish accommodations, an amazing spa, award-winning restaurants and two heated pools and is located on one of the area's best beaches. Picture-perfect vistas and topnotch services make this the perfect luxurious getaway. Dining is a treat in eateries ranging from the upscale Maritana Grille, to the appealing Sea Porch Café, casual Beachcomber Bar & Grille, Rowe Bar for light bites and refreshing cocktails and the popular Andy's Ice Cream Parlor offering not only ice cream, but tasty breakfast treats.
