Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club Overlooking Tampa Bay in downtown St. Petersburg, this historic hotel is so rich in 1920s romance that you expect to see the Great Gatsby floating across the grand ballroom with Daisy in his arms. Join the ranks of presidents, sports legends and movie stars who’ve stayed here.

Green Gables Bed & Breakfast Wisteria blooms and red and white bleeding hearts welcome love birds at this renovated old Florida crackerstyle home on the banks of Clearwater Bay. While its four-poster beds are inviting, the B&B’s highlight is its perpetually blooming English garden where small, intimate weddings can be arranged.
