The Vinoy
501 Fifth Avenue North East,
St. Petersburg, FL 33701
Since 1925, The Vinoy has graced the waterfront of downtown St. Petersburg, its iconic pink façade standing as a beacon of timeless elegance and storied grandeur. This legendary resort hotel seamlessly marries the romance of a bygone era with the sophistication and comfort demanded by today’s discerning guests.
The Vinoy Golf Course, originally envisioned by John R. Van Kleek and thoughtfully reimagined by Ron Garl in 1992, sits gracefully on Snell Isle, a tranquil enclave just moments from the vibrant city center. Crafted with the philosophy that a course should “sit softly on the land,” this 18-hole, par-71 masterpiece is celebrated for its scenic beauty and subtle challenges. Towering palms and mature oaks line the fairways, while gentle breezes from the bay add to the course’s serene allure, making each round both a sporting pursuit and a sensory delight.
After a day on the greens, the Vinoy Golf Club extends its hospitality beyond the course. The clubhouse, with its elegant interiors and panoramic views of the front nine, offers a sanctuary for relaxation. Guests may linger over cocktails, savor a casual meal, or simply soak in the sun by the sparkling pool – each experience underscored by attentive service and an ambiance of understated luxury.
The Vinoy Park Hotel’s legacy is one of resilience and renewal. After decades of acclaim, the hotel faced decline in the 1970s, only to be lovingly restored to its original splendor in 1992. Today, it stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of St. Petersburg – an exquisite retreat where history, beauty, and hospitality converge, inviting guests to create their own cherished memories along Florida’s Gulf Coast.
