Built in 1928 to resemble a Mediterranean-style castle and once a playground for distinguished celebrities such as Clarence Darrow and F. Scott Fitzgerald, the seaside The Don CeSar continues to charm and impress guests today with service preserved from the Great Gatsby era of pampering. Renovated guestrooms, refreshed public spaces, sugar-sand beaches, Spa Oceana, poolside activities, and award-winning dining await visitors who return season after season. Blending European grandeur, seaside elegance, and sweet sunsets with the enchantment of yesteryear, the romantic legend exemplifies the grandness of America’s traditional beach resorts and is the only historic hotel on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
