The Don CeSar

Situated on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, a half hour from Tampa, The Don CeSar Hotel, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has become a popular seaside retreat for guests to play in the sea, sand and spa. Affectionately coined the Pink Palace for its brilliant pink exterior and Mediterranean castle-type setting, complete with regal, Moorish bell and clock towers, imperial turrets and Palladian windows, the AAA Four-Diamond hotel fosters an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere. Its Spa Oceana offers an extensive range of signature treatments, and the rooftop terrace is a serene spot to relax before or after treatments. There is ample meeting space, beach access, a menu of dining options and kid-friendly features on-site, and fishing, golf and tennis are just minutes away.
