Rooms with Historic Charm

The Birchwood offers rooms with 42-inch flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations, and premium bedding. Select rooms feature balconies overlooking Tampa Bay or Beach Drive, claw-foot bathtubs, and rainfall showerheads. All rooms include free WiFi, safes, and air conditioning.

Dining and Rooftop Views

The Birch and Vine restaurant serves globally-inspired cuisine indoors or outdoors, featuring a sommelier-curated wine wall. The Canopy Rooftop Bar and Lounge offers views of Tampa Bay and the St. Petersburg skyline. Brunch includes bottomless bubbles and homemade desserts.

Downtown St. Petersburg Location

Located on Beach Drive in Downtown St. Petersburg, the hotel is a 1-minute walk from the Museum of Fine Arts and 6 minutes from the Saint Petersburg Museum of History. The Dali Museum, Mahaffey Theater, and St. Pete Pier are within walking distance.

Events and Gatherings

The Grand Ballroom hosts events with two outdoor terraces offering panoramic waterfront views. The hotel participates in local events like the Tampa Bay Food Fight and hosts rooftop parties for holidays like Independence Day.

Historic Building Features

The Spanish Mission-style building is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. A recent renovation added two floors while maintaining historical accuracy, including a 12-by-24-foot mural of a birch forest on the exterior wall.

“What stands out here is the Spanish Mission-style architecture; it's a refreshing departure from typical hotel designs. The Canopy Rooftop Bar is a must-visit for its views of Tampa Bay, but be mindful that noise can travel. It's a solid choice if you appreciate historic charm and a central location.”
