Ponce De Leon Hotel - Historic Downtown Property with Spanish Tapas Restaurant and Bay Views
Located in the heart of Downtown St. Petersburg, this 3-star St. Petersburg hotel occupies a historic building that transitioned from WWI-era boarding houses to post-war masonry hotels. The Ponce De Leon Hotel features 74 air-conditioned rooms across multiple categories, from 150-square-foot Petite Queens to 250-square-foot Queen Deluxe rooms, each equipped with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and coffee makers. The property houses Ceviche Tapas Restaurant, serving Spanish cuisine for lunch and dinner with live music, plus a coffee shop/café and bar. A business center with printer access and laundry facilities serve practical needs. Rooms offer either city or Tampa Bay views through corner windows, with private bathrooms featuring complimentary toiletries and hairdryers. Within a 15-minute walk, guests can reach the Museum of Fine Arts, while the Dali Museum and Mahaffey Theater stand nearby.
Pros
Historic property that once hosted celebrities including Christopher Reeve, Tony Curtis, and President Nixon
Multiple dining options within 0.3 miles, including Datz and Courigan's Irish Pub
Walking distance to cultural attractions like Florida Holocaust Museum and Saint Petersburg Museum of History
Cons
Petite Queen rooms are compact at 150 square feet
Roll-away beds cannot be accommodated in standard rooms
“What struck me about this hotel is its downtown location, placing guests steps away from St. Pete's cultural heart, while inside, the air-conditioned rooms offer a cool respite. I think the on-site Spanish restaurant and historical backdrop definitely lend a unique flavor to any stay.”
