Few hotels in Florida carry as much architectural weight as the pink Mediterranean Revival landmark that has defined St. Petersburg's waterfront since Aymer Vinoy Laughner commissioned architect Leonard Schultze — later the designer of the Waldorf Astoria in New York — to build it in 1925. The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, set within a complex that expanded significantly through a 1992 restoration by the Stouffer hotel group, spreads across the Old Northeast waterfront in a low horizontal mass of terracotta rooflines, arched loggias, and that unmistakable blush facade, its marina lined with sailboats and motor yachts that reinforce the property's long association with Florida's leisure class. The 360 guest rooms divide across the original 1925 building and a later tower addition, the two structures visible in tension from the pool terrace, where a keyhole-shaped pool framed by black-and-white striped umbrellas and white cabana tents sits between them. Interior renovations have moved the rooms toward a coastal-contemporary register — woven rattan case goods, abstract botanical canvases in coral and indigo, dusty blue patterned carpets — while the tower rooms lean slightly cooler, with crocodile-textured leather headboards in hunter green and grey wood-look flooring. The outdoor Parasol bar, set on a hardwood deck beneath a columned pavilion, pulls the property's social energy toward the waterfront edge, where Tampa Bay opens wide beyond the marina slips.
