As a New Yorker with a penchant for schlepping across cities, I have to say the Hollander is an absolute gem! Perfectly situated in the heart of St. Pete, it’s within walking distance of all the key sites—museums, parks, and enough cute coffee shops to keep your caffeine buzz going for days. My lover and I felt like we were smack dab in the middle of everything, which meant no kvetching about long drives or parking spots.
Now, let’s talk about the bed. It was so comfortable that we both slept like logs—or, as my bubbe would say, "like two briskets snug in a slow cooker." Honestly, it’s rare for me to get a full night's sleep in a hotel, but here? Dreamland.
The pool area is pure Florida charm, with just the right mix of tropical vibes and chill. Picture us lounging like two queens of leisure, sipping cocktails and soaking up the sun. The restaurant? Solid! Not the kind of place where you’d propose marriage, but definitely a spot where you’d happily say, “Let’s order another round of fries.”
All in all, the Hollander has style, comfort, and a great location—it’s a mitzvah for travelers like us. If you’re heading to St. Pete, don’t pass this place up. Just don’t forget your sunscreen; no one wants to schlep home looking like a lobster.
