The Hollander Hotel in downtown St. Pete (421 4th Ave N) makes it easy to unplug and forget your schedule. Surrounded by shops, breweries, museums, and the scenic stretch of Beach Drive, the Hollander puts its guests within walking distance to some of the most loved spots in the city – as well as being a destination itself.
Featuring eclectic décor (think comfy leather couches, funky metal sculptures, and even an old telephone booth), a spacious outdoor patio, and a sparkling pool that ties it all together, the Hollander blends classic charm with a local-first vibe. Now, as the weather warms up and the hotel’s legendary pool parties make their comeback, it’s the perfect spot to spend the weekend and grab a drink and a bite.
Another favorite local tradition takes place poolside every Saturday morning. At 8:30am, The Body Electric Yoga Company hosts poolside yoga, a long-running partnership that’s been bringing the community together since 2016. Locals roll out their mats for a morning flow beside the water, then stick around to make the most of the setting. Yogis can enjoy a complimentary mimosa with the purchase of breakfast, making it one of those laid-back local rituals that perfectly captures the Hollander vibe.
The pool scene (and parties!) locals love
The Hollander’s outdoor pool area stretches across more than 130 feet and is filled with sun loungers, tables, and cabanas available to book for special occasions (or just to make sure your friends have a home base for the day). The lush outdoor space is ideal for afternoons spent soaking up the sun with a cocktail in hand—and on Sundays, you don’t even need a room key to enjoy it…
