If you're looking to escape with luxury, style, and relaxation in mind, consider a stay at the Don Cesar Beach Resort on beautiful St. Pete Beach.

Boasting 277 rooms with 40 suites, the big, pink Don Cesar structure was built in 1928 for rich and pampered vacationers during the jazz age.  The same sense of elegance still permeates throughout the resort today.  Awarded AAA's four-diamond award for 29 straight years, "the Don" is really the pinnacle of upscale lodging on St. Pete Beach.

Room and suite amenities include 300-Thread-count, 100% cotton bed linens with down pillows, 36" LG flatscreen televisions, ipod docking stations, wireless high speed internet, 24-hour room service, and more.

The Don Cesar also plays home to the 11,000 square foot Oceana Spa with 16 treatment rooms, deluxe couples treatment rooms, and more.  Enjoy a "Day of Indulgence" package which includes a 60-minute swedish or deep-tissue massage, 60-minute facial, Ocean Mist manicure and pedicure, and a personalized shampoo and blow dry.

Or, opt for one of Oceana's signature treatments like the Sea Champagne Facial for the best, glowing skin you can get; the Spice Island Massage with an aromatic component to your massage; or a Floral Blossom Manicure and Pedicure.

Of course, the elegance of the Don extends to their wide variety of dining options as well.  The main restaurant at the Don, The Maritime Grill,  has been voted as one of the top 10 Seafood Restaurants in the United States by Gayot Guide and for the past 15 years has received AAA’s 4 diamond rating.

The Sea Porch cafe is another Don Cesar restaurant great for breakfast in addition to lunch and dinner.  Located right on the beach, the Sea Porch is perfect for a laid-back lunch or cocktail on beautiful St. Pete Beach.

If you're shopping places for your next event, The Don Cesar is a perfect venue for weddings and events like meetings, corporate outings, and more.  The beach is the perfect backdrop for a wedding and the Don Cesar will provide everything, including food, to make the experience unforgettable.

As you can see, the Don Cesar is truly a multipurpose hub for beach front elegance.   The big name awards they've won are a testament to their greatness and their longstanding history in the area is something that hasn't gone unnoticed.  Stop in, grab a drink, stay a night, or enjoy a massage; whatever you do, it's bound to be memorable at a place like this.
