The Birchwood

The location could not be better. On the waterfront and surrounded by amazing cafes/restaurants/bars. The breakfast was average. In a trendy and health-conscious city that St. Pete is, I would expect breakfast to have more organic and fewer carbohydrate-based and sugar-based options. But the only healthy option was bananas. There was no protein. And I was sad to sea there were no non-dairy milk options.

Loved the location. The hotel was beautiful and well kept. The staff was friendly. Loved the rooftop bar! Everything was exceptionally clean. The beds were very comfortable and we loved that the air conditioning worked really well. Friendly staff too. We would stay here again.

The location and the staff and the room were excellent! We walked to food and bars and to Vinoy Park for the Reggae Rise Up festival every day. The front desk people were nice and went out of their way for us. One even went to our car that was parked in valet and looked for a pair of sunglasses for us, and brought back our chair so we could take it to the festival. We had heard the room could be noisy so we took our portable sound machine and had no issues with restaurant patrons or other guests coming home later than us and talking loudly in the hall.

The Birchwood is a charming hotel in a fabulous location along St. Pete's Beach Drive, across the street from Vinoy Park and the waterfront. We had an incredible dinner at Birch and Vine ~ 5 people and EVERY dish was a winner, none of us could decide which was our favorite and our server Javier made the evening. As a guest of the hotel, you receive a discount 20% in the restaurant, which we were unaware of until after our dinner. When we mentioned it to the manager the next morning, he exhibited excellent customer service by offering to find the dinner bill from the previous night and apply the credit to our room charge, which is very impressive in today's world. Gorgeous room and spacious, beautifully appointment bathroom with a shower and clawfoot tub that is swoon worthy. Delicious breakfast the previous morning included.

The Birchwood hosted my daughters wedding, and I can’t say enough about it. The Venue provides an intimate setting with all the amenities! We had no need to leave the venue being everything you need is there, from the breakfast to dinner and the entertainment at the rooftop bar! The staff was there to provide every request with a smile. Looking forward to a visit for a weekend getaway in the incredibly romantic rooms!
