The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club Autograph Collection

Historic charm and modern comfort steps from the St. Pete music scene

Sitting proudly along the scenic Tampa Bay coast, The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club Autograph Collection blends timeless elegance with contemporary amenities. This beautifully restored landmark hotel in downtown St. Petersburg is just a short walk from major cultural attractions, live music venues, and waterfront nightlife. With its lush grounds, heated pools, and upscale dining, it’s a polished retreat that doesn't skimp on convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re only minutes from top St. Petersburg venues—just 2 miles from Tropicana Field and within walking distance to smaller music halls and event spaces. After a loud night out, the hotel’s tranquil rooms offer a peaceful escape, especially for those booking a bay-view suite. With a generous 4 p.m. check-in and 11 a.m. check-out, there’s plenty of wiggle room for late-night arrivals or slow mornings. Fitness classes, a sauna, and spa treatments also help you bounce back after dancing the night away.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking to explore and unwind in a stylish setting
Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show and wanting a safe, central base
Couples wanting a romantic weekend wrapped around a concert
Fans who need a quiet, comfy recovery space after the encore
Budget-conscious music lovers who appreciate off-peak deals at a luxury hotel

Food and Drink Options

Choose from four on-site dining venues, including Paul's Landing, known for its coastal cuisine, and The Veranda Café for relaxed bites. While there’s no official 24/7 room service, late-night cravings are covered thanks to nearby eateries and bars within walking distance. The hotel also serves breakfast, which is perfect for a post-show slow start.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans more toward elegance than party, it’s a short stroll to downtown St. Pete’s vibrant nightlife scene—think eclectic bars, rooftop lounges, and live music clubs. After the show, return for a nightcap at the hotel bar or take in the bay breeze from the veranda.

What People Say

Guests rave about the impeccable service, historic architecture, and prime waterfront location. Many appreciate the quiet, relaxing atmosphere, calling it a “peaceful oasis” after a busy day or night in town. The pool and spa areas consistently earn high marks, as does the hotel’s walkability to local attractions.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers note that certain parts of the hotel feel slightly dated compared to the modern rooms. Parking can be expensive, and while it’s ideal for relaxation, the vibe may be too mellow for those seeking a party scene on-site.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to a concert in St. Pete and want a luxurious, quiet place to recharge, The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club Autograph Collection hits all the right notes.
