Peninsula Bed & Cocktails Review | Hotels Above Par

"Reopened after surviving three consecutive hurricanes (the last being Helene in October 2024), this yellow-splashed, artistically inspired three-story bed-and-breakfast reimagines the traditional B&B by placing classic cocktails—rather than home-cooked breakfasts—at the center of its identity. Sixteen themed rooms and suites named after famous drinks (Old Fashioned, Margarita, Mimosa, Paloma, etc.) incorporate each beverage’s colors, ingredients, wallpaper, and quirky artwork into the décor; examples include a Negroni Suite with moody dark woods and Hermès-orange accents and a Mai Tai Room in blush tropical tones. Rooms come with full baths, blackout curtains, mini-fridges, and Beekman 1802 amenities, and two rooms are dog-friendly. The compact property is anchored by a bustling bar offering craft cocktails and live music, with an oversized veranda overlooking Beach Boulevard and a complimentary arrival cocktail at the Lobby Bar. Practical perks include parking, contactless check-in/out, and complimentary Wi‑Fi, with rates starting around $122 per night, making it a charming, walkable alternative or base for exploring St. Pete Beach, the St. Pete Pier, and other Pinellas County attractions."
