Had such an amazing stay at The Birchwood in downtown St. Pete! The boutique vibe, beautiful rooms, and rooftop views were absolutely stunning. The location is perfect, walking distance to great restaurants, shops, and the waterfront. The rooftop bar was definitely a highlight with amazing drinks, live music, and one of the best views in the city. Staff was friendly and accommodating, making the whole experience feel special. Perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Can’t wait to come back!

Great place to stay to enjoy St Pete. Beach Dr. has everything you absolute need! Hotel is beautiful. It had some moments where you could hear people on the rooftop but it honestly wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. The AC fan drowned out most outside noise. Beautiful place.
