The Don CeSar, affectionately known as the "Pink Palace," is a glamorous hotel located in St. Pete, Florida, which has been a playground for the rich and famous since its opening in 1928. The hotel's luxurious facilities, including brand-new, renovated rooms and suites, an outdoor pool, an upscale spa, and fine dining facilities, make it an ideal destination for honeymooners, friends, families, and couples seeking a romantic getaway.
The hotel's history is steeped in romance and grandeur, with its founder, Thomas Rowe, building the hotel as a tribute to his lost love, Lucinda. Inspired by the character Don Ce-Sar in the opera "Maritana," Rowe poured his heart and soul into creating a masterpiece that symbolized his enduring love and imbued it with an air of grandeur reflective of the roaring Gatsby era (The Mirror). The hotel's Mediterranean and Moorish architectural style... complete with towers and archways, reflects the romantic aura that Rowe envisioned.
The Don CeSar has hosted some of the most iconic figures in history, including Al Capone, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, with nearly every US president since Gerald Ford visiting the hotel (The Mirror). The Don CeSar has also served as a backdrop for numerous films and music videos, including scenes from the 1984 film "Once Upon a Time in America" and the 2016 movie "The Infiltrator." Today... the hotel ___ a popular destination for those seeking a luxurious and romantic escape by the sea. Despite its candy colors and upscale furnishings, giving the Don a contemporary feel, "this is a historic hotel where the rich and famous came to stay and play." The Don CeSar's Pink Palace ___ a timeless and romantic destination for all kinds of guests, "making it an ideal 4."5-star hotel for anyone seeking a luxurious getaway.
I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for glitzy, highly photogenic hotels, especially if they are Barbie Pink and sit on white sand beaches. So I couldn't believe my luck when I had the chance to stay at the glamorous Don CeSar in gorgeous St. Pete, Florida and check out the facilities.
