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.

Within a 15-minute walk, guests can reach the Museum of Fine Arts, while the Dali Museum and Mahaffey Theater stand nearby.
