about us

Rising from sugary Gulf shores towers a romantic legend which blends European grandeur, seaside elegance and sweet sunsets with the enchantment of yesteryear -- THE DON CESAR BEACH RESORT, A LOEWS HOTEL. Known as Florida's Legendary Pink Palace since 1928, it is the only historic resort poised along the Gulf of Mexico from the Keys of Florida to the tip of Texas.

The Don exemplifies the grandness of America's traditional beach resorts as it casts a rouge glow across Pass-a-Grille Island from Boca Ciega Bay to the pearlescent sands of the Gulf. Its landmark architecture reflects a flamingo-pink, Mediterranean castle sharply chiseled against the blue Florida sky accented by Moorish bell towers and imperial turrets. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the St. Pete Beach resort charms discriminating guests with gracious service preserved from the Great Gatsby era of pampering.

Referred to simply as "The Don" by generations of privileged guests from around the world, the luxury resort is revered internationally for its sprawling, sugar-white beach, unparalleled dining, rejuvenating Beach Club, fabulous fishing, children's program, nearby tennis and golf and award-winning meeting facilities.
