location

Postcard Inn on the Beach is located directly on the warm sands of St. Pete Beach on the Gulf of Mexico.  A modern boutique hotel with classic Florida charm, PCI provides the perfect setting for family vacations, spring break getaways, and destination weddings.  Aside from Beachwood BBQ & Burger and PCI Beach Bar on the resort's property, there are a variety of off-site St. Pete Beach restaurants and bars with live entertainment, conveniently within walking distance.  Just over a mile away is the historic Don CeSar and the picturesque village of Pass-a-Grille.  In the opposite direction is the Corey Avenue Shopping District, with specialty stores and an old-fashioned movie theatre.

Many other attractions are less than 30 minutes away by car, including the St. Petersburg Pier, Tropicana Field for Tampa Bay Rays baseball, John's Pass Village and Boardwalk, and the Clearwater Aquarium, home of Winter the Dolphin, whose story is now the major motion picture "A Dolphin Tale."

If attending a tampa Bay Lightning NHL game or rocking out to your favorite concert at the ST Pete Times Forum, catching a NFL Buccaneers game at Raymond James Stadium, getting an adrenaline rush from a rollercoaster ride at Busch Gardens or just enjoying a good old fashioned high end shopping spree day filled with fine dining and popular clubs are on your itinerary, Tampa is just a 45 minute drive away.

Enjoy the best of both worlds, right in the center of it all, here at Postcard Inn on St. Pete Beach!

Welcome to Postcard Inn, A Beach Front Hotel!

"Hip, affordable, and resolutely casual," according to Travel + Leisure, St. Pete Beach's Postcard Inn Hotel is located on prime beachfront on Florida’s West Coast, minutes away from downtown St. Petersburg and a short drive from Tampa.  From decor to dining this hotel in St. Pete Beach is the Gulf Coast's Great American Escape.  Each room is a uniquely accented throwback to a time when road trips ruled and surfers were kings.  Modernized with Wi-Fi and flat screen TVs, every room, from our Poolside Cabanas and Beach Bungalows to our Classic King, is just footsteps from the warm sand and refreshing Gulf Coast water.  At this St. Pete Beach Hotel, no two rooms are alike.  The perfect mix of drinking and dining awaits you at Postcard Inn, too.  The critically acclaimed Beachwood BBQ & Burger, as well as PCI Beach Bar and PCI Snack Shack, serving excellent barbeque, burgers and ice-cold beers all day long are on offer. "Be sure to sample the baby back ribs,” advises the New York Times.  If you're in search of a memorable Spring Break, looking to explore with the whole family, or even need to mix a little business into your pleasure, this hotel in St. Pete Beach is the place.  And if you head off-site, downtown St. Petersburg and Tampa both feature plenty of culture (Salvador Dali Museum, Florida International Museum), sports (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Rays) and entertainment (Busch Gardens, Seaworld). No matter what, you're in for a “lazy and low-key, quiet and calm, unpretentious and unassuming” vacation, where T + L advises to dress appropriately: “cutoffs and flip-flops, bathing suits and bare feet.” Wish you were here!

Should your travels bring you to the spectacular Florida Keys, visit Postcard Inn at Holiday Isle for a modern twist on the nostalgic all-American beach vacation.
