Resort Hotels - Don CeSar – The Legendary “Pink Palace”

Rising like a pink mirage from the sugary Gulf shores towers a romantic and legendary edifice which blends European grandeur, seaside elegance and sweet sunsets with the enchantment of yesteryear. Since 1928, the height of the “Roaring 20s”, the Don CeSar Beach Resort (a Lowe’s hotel) has enticed the rich and famous. “The Don” once was a favorite of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Babe Ruth, and Clarence Darrow. Known as the “Pink Palace”, the iconic Don CeSar stands as the only historic resort poised along the Gulf of Mexico from the Keys of Florida to the tip of Texas.
The Don exemplifies the grandness of America's traditional beach resorts as it casts a rouge glow across Pass-a-Grille Island from Boca Ciega Bay to the pearlescent sands of the Gulf. Its landmark architecture reflects a flamingo-pink, Mediterranean castle sharply chiseled against the blue Florida sky accented by Moorish bell towers and imperial turrets. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the St. Pete Beach resort charms discriminating guests with gracious service preserved from the Great Gatsby era of pampering.
Known simply as "The Don" by generations of privileged guests from around the world, this luxury resort is revered internationally for its sprawling, sugar-white beach, unparalleled dining, rejuvenating Beach Club, fabulous fishing, children's program, nearby tennis and golf and award-winning meeting facilities.
