The Bar/Lounge at The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, Autograph Collection

"Overlooking the bay, Marchand's Bar and Grill serves award-winning American cuisine with a Floribbean flair"

"With a long wooden bar sitting smack in the middle of it, the primary on-site restaurant, Marchand's, is one of the city's finest and one of the hotel's five on-site eateries"

"Petersburg landmark, which incorporates "modern" amenities ("fantastic" tennis courts, golf and pool, plus "beautifully presented" food) and nods to the past ("expansive" porches, displays of historic photos); many of the "nice" rooms located in an older wing and adjoining tower offer bay views, and the "special" attention doled out by the "outstanding" staffers "blows away" high rollers and bargain-hunters alike"

"An adjoining lounge showcases big-name jazz musicians on weekends"
