The Saint Hotel

Our favorite place to stay in the Tampa Bay area, The Saint has unbeatable harbor views and fab early ‘60s kitsch décor (each room is uniquely wonderful).  All have kitchenettes. The pool area is a hoot, surrounded by neon pink umbrellas and filled with pink flamingo floats. There’s often a DJ spinning there, too. 82 Degrees, the onsite bar and restaurant known for its very happening, hopping happy hours. A shaded, palm tree lined area has lawn games like Jenga and cornhole, as well as fire pits. Welcome drinks are served upon check-in. Though the beach is about a five-minute walk away, the exceptionally helpful staff will happily pack a beach cart with chairs, umbrellas, and towels for you to tow along the scenic three block stroll.
