Avalon Hotel Downtown St. Petersburg
Art deco style with free parking and a local shuttle
St Petersburg, St. Petersburg
About this stay
The art deco lobby and spacious porch give this hotel a character the newer downtown towers don't try to match, a classic style rather than a modern one. Every room has a flat-screen TV with cable and a private bathroom stocked with complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer. Free parking and a free transfer service to local shops, museums and nightlife round out the practical side, an unusual pairing for a downtown boutique hotel where paid parking is typically the norm. The Dali Museum sits 1.4 kilometers away, and Beach Drive's shopping strip is a ten-minute walk, putting most of downtown within easy reach without a car. The setting suits a range of travelers, from couples to small families. The overall standard suits travelers who want a dependable stay without surprises.

Our take
This is the pick for boutique character on a tighter budget, since the free parking and shuttle save real money compared to the paid-parking downtown hotels nearby. The art deco styling suits travelers who want a distinctive, non-chain stay rather than a five-star finish. Anyone chasing rooftop pools or a spa should look at the newer downtown properties instead.
- Use the free shuttle for evening trips rather than paying for a rideshare
- Book early for winter weekends, since the art deco rooms are limited
- Walk the ten minutes to Beach Drive rather than driving, it's an easy stroll
Why we love it
- Free parking, rare for downtown boutique hotels
- A free local shuttle service
- The classic art deco lobby and porch
- A ten-minute walk to Beach Drive
Why guests love itTravellers staying here will find the free shuttle genuinely useful for evening trips to Beach Drive or the museum district, a real cost saving over paid parking elsewhere downtown. The art deco lobby and porch make the stay feel distinctive rather than generic, without the price tag of the five-star boutique hotels nearby. It's a comfortable, characterful base for a downtown trip on a tighter budget.
