  • Beacon Pool Bar & Lookout
    Let us guide the way to fun in the sun at the brand-new Beacon Pool Bar & Lookout. Inspired by The Don CeSar’s legendary status as a nautical marker, the completely renovated bar and grill offers poolside bites like the Grilled Mahi Sandwich and Pulled Chicken Tostada, an extensive selection of beach-inspired cocktails such as the raspberry lemon Beacon of Light, and a rooftop lookout boasting unmatched sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. When you see The Beacon Pool Bar & Lookout from a distance, you know you’ve arrived somewhere legendary. 

  • Maritana
    The Maritana Restaurant at the Don CeSar remains one of the greater St Pete area’s best AAA 4 Diamond Dining experiences.  Similar to the Don Lobby Bar, the completely renovated dining room transports you to a glamorous and timeless era of elegance and shimmer.  Maritana, the Spanish gypsy from the opera Don CeSar de Bazan and later revamped as Maritana by William Wallace, is the foundation for our coastal and seductive dining experience located in the heart of the luxurious hotel.  Each dish is hand-crafted and features food sustainably sourced from regional farms and fishermen and includes coastal inspired cuisine prepared by Chef de Cuisine Emily Ferrari. An extensive wine list, delectable desserts and stunning ambiance round out your experience at one of USA Today's 10Best restaurants.

  • Rowe Bar
    Elevate your beach bar game with some time at The Don's gulf front bar. Grab a hand-crafted cocktail or craft beer and kick back on the expansive deck stretching out over the sand dunes. Grab a seat near a modern fire pit on the pavilion and order up some delicious bites, perfect for sharing. Take your pick from the tuna tacos, goat cheese fritters and porch burger. Named after Thomas Rowe, the legendary founder of the Pink Palace, Rowe Bar is redefining the next generation of St. Pete Beach bars with cool libations, vibrant coastal cuisine and an elevated sunset experience.

  • Society Table
    Since 1928, family and friends have come together for laughs and memories around our table at the Don CeSar.  93 years later, and after a complete 2021 revitalization, the all-new Society Table pays homage to hanging up your hat from the daily grind and enjoying life! Dive into all-day Florida Gulf fare in a seaside setting, offering delectable savory handhelds, fresh coastal filets, and inland ranch chops. With indoor and outdoor seating, Society Table is the perfect place to gather for a relaxed breakfast, lunch or dinner. Host a private event at Gatsby, our exclusive upstairs dining space for up to 30 guests. Experience the Society Table demonstration room, where chef-led activations and tastings show guests “The perfect pairing of cheese and charcuterie”, “How to make your own at home truffles”, or “The secret to making the perfect frosting”.

  • The Lobby Bar
    A complete transformation in 2020 have elevated this gathering space and celebration room to a true tropical oasis that transports you back to the tropics of the 1920’s.  A grand entry into the space is accented with the brass and emerald shimmer of the Roaring Twenties, combined with modern twists and elevated service.  This makes the Lobby Bar the epicenter of life at the Don as well as St Pete Beach’s sophisticated gathering spot.  The Don CeSar’s Lobby Bar is energetic and vibrant, with playful touches such as a palm leaf print wallcovering and a quintessential, custom-designed glass bar cart that serves period-inspired drinks. In 2020 the bar was repositioned to the back of the lobby in order to open the space, and features mesmerizing wood-like tiles that draw visitors in. Guests can enjoy gourmet small plates, specialty cocktails hand-crafted by our expert mixologist, and live jazz and lounge music, as well as some good old-fashioned camaraderie with friends both old and new!

  • Uncle Andy’s Market
    For over 40 years guests and local families have been enjoying the 1950’s style Uncle Andy’s Ice Cream Parlor at the Don CeSar.  In 2020 the property repositioned Uncle Andy’s to a fresh new location in the Don Boutiques, and enhanced the experience into a full market experience offering Lickity Split Ice Creams, Shakes, Pastries, and illy Gourmet Coffee, as well as grab and go food and beverage items including beer, wine and spirits, a fun candy wall for kids of all ages, and convenient sundries.  The all-new Uncle Andy’s still has a wonderful feel of 1950’s ice cream shop, with a fresh new level of product and service. The perfect stop for morning quick start, gourmet grab, or an evening nightcap to take back to your room.

    34th anniversary stay

    There is still some work going on as they try to rebuild from the hurricane last summer. But overall, this stay was very good. I want to give a shout out to Julian Vasquez the lead concierge. He went out of his way to make sure that my wife and I were able to get the restaurant we wanted to celebrate our anniversary. He also had a surprise for us when we returned to our room with a box of chocolate and rose petals spread on the bed with a nice card. He made our stay a special time for us.

    A Girl’s DREAM spot!

    Don’t walk… Book this IMMEDIATELY. There are so many good things to say about The Don, I’m not sure where to begin! They’ll greet you with a glass of Rosé and send you off with chocolates. Come in with an expectation of nostalgia and drink it up! You can FEEL the timeless charm, while enjoying just the right upgrades. The rooms are cozy and the bathrooms are tiny, but it’s not a problem. We shared a double queen between 3 girls and had enough room for all of our things and to stand together and get ready at the vanity. The tilework in the shower is such a vibe and the optional showerhead was an added bonus! Our room was freshly cleaned and stocked each afternoon we were there. It was perfect! Fresh towels and made beds to return to after a day in the sun, salt and water. The pools… FANTASTIC. If I may make a suggestion though, having one designated for families and one for adults would be a huge upgrade. Either way, we enjoyed the pool so much. We got a great spot all 4 days! Jackie and Katie are just PHENOMENAL. They both bust their tails in that heat and remember your face the next day. They were both so friendly and so fast. 10/10 recommend those superstars! Order a frozen espresso martini the very minute you get out there, trust me! Another stand-out bonus at the pool is Colt, playing live music. THIS MAN IS EXCELLENT. It was an honor to tip him! Such a controlled and soothing vocal, all while playing beautifully in that heat. I could never! He was SUPERB! He played the hits, took requests, and set an ambiance you could even enjoy on the beach. The beach… The pink loungers, beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, just the cherry on top! You can book daybeds that are dressed to the nines, OR enjoy a lounger and umbrella for free. We did both and had zero complaints. The staff dressing the beds and serving food/drinks were so great. It is so hot and they work so hard with smiles on their faces. The white sand was POWDER. 10/10! The water was a GORGEOUS emerald and so warm! There was a sand bar to stroll the entire beach out in the ocean. Tons of shells, sand dollars, and treasures to find. VERY LITTLE to no seaweed or grass while we were there. It was just perfect! And the beach at sunset is WILDLY beautiful! We enjoyed the food at Society Table, as well as at the pool/beach. There’s a great variety of shopping for souvenirs, swim items and snacks… and about the snacks… THE GELATO!!! 11/10 recommend! THE ENTIRE PLACE is photogenic. Professional or for the Gram, in the pool, at the lounge, on the stairs, beach or swing… there are so many great spots! It’s a marketing DREAM. We have already planned our next trip

    The Pink Palace is an icon! Exceptional Service, Amenities.

    Exceptional service, amenities, with a clean and uncrowded beach with beach-side service. Pool area was tidy and service was also top-notch. Restaurant and in-room dining was great. Great location to catch the sunset on the Gulf of Mexico. Highly recommend, if traveling to the St. Pete’s Beach area.

    Top Notch All Around

    This was our 3rd visit in 4 years and it keeps getting better. The Don is SO beautiful and in such a great location with SO much to do nearby. What really makes The Don above and beyond is the staff. In particular, Katie and Jackie at the pool. They are simply the best! As I mentioned we have only been there a few times over the span of 4 years and they remember us, always greet us with a smile and are just simply enjoyable to be around. It's as if we're regulars. If they ever have a bad day you sure wouldn't know it. Both are some of the nicest people you will ever encounter on your vacation, or more importantly, in life. BIG shout out to Katie and Jackie! The best around!

    Don Ceaser experience

    I’ll see everybody was super helpful and nice Also a note Jeremiah E at the beach that helped me rent. Paddle boards was also super helpful and nice. It was the second time I ever went paddle boarding and I’m glad he was helpful because I was a little apprehensive about going
