Unleash Your Inner Barbie at this Iconic Beachside Pink Palace
It’s the summer of all things pink, and there is nowhere better to spend it than the iconic Pink Palace, The Don CeSar. Nestled along the white sands of St. Pete Beach, this historic, rose-hued landmark is a must-visit destination for the Barbie lover looking for the perfect girly escape.
The Don CeSar
While The Don CeSar is instantly recognizable for its beautiful pink facade, it has a long history as part of the skyline of St. Pete Beach. The hotel first opened in 1928 at the height of the Great Gatsby era. It is celebrating its 95th anniversary this year, looking better and brighter than ever.
A Girly Getaway
Your whole Barbie crew will find something to love at The Don CeSar. The iconic Pink Palace completed an extensive full-property renovation in 2022; it now offers 277 gorgeous rooms with 36 suites, six restaurants and lounges, and two resort-style pools, among endless amenities.
White Sand Shores
As much as the hotel sparkles, there’s nothing like the appeal of its white sand beachfront on St. Pete Beach along the Gulf of Mexico.
The Crown Jewel of the Gulf Coast
Two swimming pools and the Beacon Pool Bar & Lookout make passing an afternoon at The Don CeSar’s exterior spaces one of the best parts of a stay. Enjoy beach-inspired cocktails and poolside bites in style, with unbeatable ocean views.
A National Landmark
Now celebrating its 95th year, The Don CeSar is a beloved National Historic
Landmark, faithfully preserving the property’s most storied spaces. When it first opened in 1928, the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Marilyn Monroe, and even Al Capone were among the early guests.
Dining at The Don CeSar
The hotel is home to six restaurants and lounges, including the award-winning AAA 4 Diamond Maritana Grille, which specializes in seafood and coastal cuisine.
Delicious Bites
Menu highlights at the Maritana Grille include soft shell crab with chermoula,
apple, fennel, and chili, and seafood linguini with rock shrimp, bay scallops, and little neck clams.
Spa Oceana
What is a girls’ getaway without a day at the spa? The Don CeSar’s 11,000-square-foot full–service Spa Oceana has 16 treatment rooms, including two treatment rooms for couples, and offers everything from manicures and pedicures to a full menu of massages, facials, and spa treatments.
Modern Amenities
The Don CeSar also has a state-of-the-art 4,100–square–foot fitness and wellness center. The hotel offers weekly fitness classes, including everything from beachside yoga to water aerobics.
Pretty in Pink
The hotel’s pink exterior subtly continues inside its newly-refurbished rooms and suites for a sophisticated and modern take on Barbie’s Dream House. Gentle pink hues and beach-inspired tropical graphics enhance coastal vibes.
