At the legendary Don CeSar Hotel, the iconic pink Moorish Revival palace on St. Pete Beach that has dominated the Gulf skyline since 1928 and hosted F. Scott Fitzgerald, Franklin Roosevelt, and the New York Yankees: the Beacon Pool Bar delivers cold cocktails and frozen drinks in one of the most historically extraordinary hotel settings in all of Florida.
