It is “The Don” of a new era as the revival of Florida’s iconic Pink Palace® advances into its 93rd year as a living legend. The grand public spaces are complemented by upgrades to the 277 chic and airy Floridian hotel rooms and suites. The Don CeSar guestrooms feature beach-inspired textures and designer fabrics paying homage to the seaside Art Deco era.

Named after Thomas Rowe, the legendary founder of the Pink Palace, Rowe Bar is redefining the next generation of St. Pete Beach bars with cool libations, vibrant coastal cuisine and an elevated sunset experience.
Lobby Bar
A complete transformation in 2020 have elevated this gathering space and celebration room to a true tropical oasis that transports you back to the tropics of the 1920's. A grand entry into the space is accented with the brass and emerald shimmer of the Roaring Twenties, combined with modern twists and elevated service. This makes the Lobby Bar the epicenter of life at the Don as well as St Pete Beach's sophisticated gathering spot. The Don CeSar's Lobby Bar is energetic and vibrant, with playful touches such as a palm leaf print wallcovering and a quintessential, custom-designed glass bar cart that serves period-inspired drinks. In 2020 the bar was repositioned to the back of the lobby in order to open the space, and features mesmerizing wood-like tiles that draw visitors in. Guests can enjoy gourmet small plates, specialty cocktails hand-crafted by our expert mixologist, and live jazz and lounge music, as well as some good old-fashioned camaraderie with friends both old and new!
