This historic pink "castle" on Florida's west coast has yesteryear
charm and classic European interiors. Built in 1928, the 10-story Don
CeSar, a longtime point of reference on maritime navigation charts,
features Mediterranean and Moorish architecture and includes numerous
balconies and terraces. Now listed in the National Register of Historic
Places, the landmark property once served as a hospital and Veterans
Administration office. Reopened as a luxury resort in 1973, and
completely renovated in 1993 and 1994, the Don CeSar evokes the feel
and flavor of Europe, with a magnificent location on one of Florida's
finest beaches. Amenities include concierge, valet parking, golf
shuttle, 2 swimming pools, Jacuzzi, fitness center and spa, and
children's activities. Saltwater aquariums accent the Maritana Grille
for fine dining; the indoor/outdoor Sea Porch Cafe is ideal for casual
breakfast, lunch and dinner. Enjoy an exceptional view of the Gulf in
Sunsets' Lounge.
ROOMS: 275 guest rooms, inluding 43 suites and 2 penthouses with terraces.
