Discover the most haunted hotels in St Pete Beach with real ghost stories and paranormal activity

3400 Gulf Blvd, St Pete Beach, FL 33706, United States
The Don CeSar's most famous haunting revolves around its founder, Thomas Rowe, and his forbidden love, Lucinda. Rowe built the hotel as a tribute to her after she was whisked away by her parents who disapproved of their relationship. Lucinda died young, never seeing the hotel. Staff and guests report seeing a spectral couple, believed to be Thomas and Lucinda, strolling hand-in-hand through the property, particularly around the central fountain they planned together or on the 5th floor where Rowe lived. Other phenomena include unexplained door knocks, ghostly employees still 'working,' and items moving mysteriously. The hotel embraces its romantic ghost story.
