Great location, great staff , fabulous rooftop bar, room was very well appointed as you would expect from a boutique hotel. I felt it was very reasonable for the level of accommodations.
Alexi was amazing she takes care of everything! Room was very spacious & very clean. Bar staff was very friendly but be aware your check automatically adds a 20 percent gratuity. Great location.
Room was nice although the bathroom didnt provide enough shower or hand soap. One towel rack was not enough for two people. We had to lay the towels over the tub. No small refrigerator was included. Every hotel we ever stayed had this as well as ice bucket. The breakfast buffet was not that. I thought there would be something better than small yogurt and some small bags of sweets and a waffle. Only one person was their. Dining room was nice, including the food and drinks. Roof bar was great too.
Wonderful intimate hotel - personal attention to details. Two lovely dining options. Gorgeous building and location. A delightful stay indeed in St Petersburg.

The property is beautiful but know the building is old. So you hear EVERYTHING! Luckily I brought a sound machine to sleep! Our bed was awful. The noise every time you moved sounded like shots being fired. When we complained about it we were basically told it is what it is. They offered us another room for $100 more a night which we declined.
The lobby bar was our favorite part. Great drinks and great service. Loved the bartender and staff!
Always a great place to stay. This was our second stay. Centrally located to most of the museums. Within walking distance to the pier. Freight day and helpful staff.
Very nice little hotel in a great location with museums and restaurants within walking distance. Hotel’s restaurant was very good and the rooftop bar an added bonus; fun place with a great view of the bay.
The place was perfect like out of a movie the room and bathroom were amazing and the location is the best in downtown st pete i will stay there again great place
Had such an amazing stay at The Birchwood in downtown St. Pete! The boutique vibe, beautiful rooms, and rooftop views were absolutely stunning. The location is perfect, walking distance to great restaurants, shops, and the waterfront. The rooftop bar was definitely a highlight with amazing drinks, live music, and one of the best views in the city. Staff was friendly and accommodating, making the whole experience feel special. Perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Can’t wait to come back!

Could not beat the staff nor the location. Decor was fabulous
The staff, hotel, restaurant and room were excellent. The only downside was the noise from people leaving the rooftop bar until 2AM. We will be back and ask for a different room at the back to buffer us from the loud partiers.
Not the usual hot breakfast, but very good bagels, English muffins, pastries, cereal and other high quality items. Room was clean, but lighting was poor. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
This is a find! Lovely people on staff- every one of them. Beautiful spacious room and bathroom. Ideally located across from a park and the waterfront. Restaurants, shopping and entertainment nearby. Only 18 rooms, so you get plenty of quick attention if you need it. Can’t think of a thing I’d change!
