The Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club in St. Petersburg is a restored beauty with Old World charm. Nestled against the warm waters of Tampa Bay, this hotel has played host to the rich and famous: George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Tiger Woods have all frolicked in the Florida sunshine at this exclusive resort. Handcrafted floor tiles and vaulted ceilings inspire feelings of grandeur as you waltz through the lobby. Jazz Age nostalgia has influenced smaller decorating details as well: Crystal wall sconces and the hand-woven Persian rugs reflect a bygone time when Florida resorts like this one were the playground of rich and powerful men. Stop by Marchand’s Bar and Grill to nosh on seafood and pasta with a martini in hand. The guest rooms have been redone to recall a bygone era of Art Deco elegance and Spanish Modern warmth. Earthy tones of rust, gold and brown enhance guest room décor, while bright and sunny suites feature plush sofas, carved tables and crown moldings.
