The Birchwood

A great boutique hotel in the heart of downtown St. Pete. Enjoyed drinks at their roof top bar with beautiful views of the water. Very comfortable bed and good breakfast. Toilets needs a few extra flushes but in these vintage hotels these things happen.

The Restaurant on site had very poor staff. Two members of our party asked to split an entree and the waiter stated that it was not a problem. It was delivered on one plate. When asked for a separate plate, the waiter ignored the request. We then asked the floor manager that came by for an extra empty plate and he ignored our request twice.

Canopy rooftop bar is outstanding and bar staff was terrific! Great view of Bay. Our room was a little dark and no full length mirror on any wall.

Great area of mostly historic hotels. This one has an amazing rooftop bar. I had a hard time getting hot water to the bathroom. It took like 15 minutes to warm up. Otherwise great stay.

The room was very comfortable with a huge, beautiful bathroom. The staff was very friendly and and accommodating. Valet parking was extremely convenient. The hotel is in a beautiful area as well. My only complaint is that it is very loud at night. The nightlife in the weekend was so loud, it made it difficult to sleep until very late at night.

While I love this hotel, the location is great, the staff is wonderful… the rooms are very dated and I desperate need of a refresh. The rooms and bathrooms are very large but they are also very old and dated. If they were updated I would give this hotel an A+++

I did not liked the lack of awareness and communication among hotel staff. For example, no communication between them about whenever a fire alarm emergency sounds on, none is aware of the reason, even a day later from the event, making it hard for us the hotel guests to trust the security measures while still wondering what happened. Also it is not clear that most of the room windows are facing inwards, specially to the hallway were the outside elevators are, no privacy and had to shut down the curtains making my room more darker suffocating. I would suggest placing a decorative plants in the elevators hallways to provide more privacy to room guests.

This is a beautiful property. It’s really cool how they made it seem totally in character of it’s historic nature if the hotel. The rooms are definitely historic looking, but clean and updated in the bathroom has the most amazing call clawfoot bathtub. So if you’re in the baths, bring some Epson salt to soak. They do have a bath gel in the room though also for you.. It’s very convenient to the pier all the restaurants and it’s totally walkable to everything. It’s in a great location for sure. They have a really nice rooftop bar that’s open till 2 AM. It’s got a beautiful view and great ambience. And a really nice place to hang out. I will say though you can hear all the music in the rooms so if you’re looking for totally totally quiet room, probably stay on a lower level. We will be back for sure.

Room was very nice. However it was very noisy due to the fact that all the rooms are backing a walkway from the rooftop bar. Also they advertise a complimentary breakfast until 10AM. We came down by 9:30 there was no coffee left in the urn, not much of anything and nobody around to remedy the situation.
