BELLEVIEW INN
Historic hotel built in 1897, the first on the West Coast to welcome celebrities and wealthy guests to Clearwater.
It's hard to hold back a "wahou" in front of this historic hotel built in 1897 by Henry Plant, a tourism and railroad magnate to whom we also owe the Tampa Bay Hotel. The first hotel on the West Coast, it welcomed celebrities and rich guests. Superbly renovated, it has retained its presence with its white wooden façade, its porch and its pointed roof. From the chic lobby to the 35 timelessly decorated rooms and the pool with Jacuzzi, everything is an invitation to take your time. A perfect example of the Floridian way of life.

The service was so-so. It's next-to-impossible to contact the hotel via phone or email. They outsource their "helpdesk" to India, and the representatives on the phone are not helpful, and flat-out give wrong information (I was told I would need to transfer rooms in between days during my stay, for no reason). Also, the hotel's only serious food option is at the local country club. When I went there for dinner, I was treated like a second-class citizen (the bartender made an off-color joke that I "wasn't a member," so it's fine if I give up my seat at the bar).
Not the best experience, but it was a nice wedding venue, so that does make up for the negatives.
