This Saturday, employees from The Don CeSar volunteered their time to help build beds for children in need. These beds will provide comfort and stability for kids whose families are transitioning out of homelessness, fostering or adopting, or overcoming difficult circumstances. We’re proud of our Don family for giving back with compassion and making a real difference in the lives of children and families in our community. 💙 #Community #DonCeSar #GivingBack #ServeWithLove

The Don CeSar reposted this
Congratulations to The Don CeSar in St. Pete Beach for being a AAA Four Diamond hotel since 1980! Mother nature couldn't keep the Pink Palace's doors closed for long. After sustaining storm damage last year, this iconic Gulf Coast hotel is welcoming guests once again with the same unique charm and outstanding service as before.
