The Birchwood

Positive: Charming with lots of character - not like the usual cookie cutter hotels. Negative: Continental breakfast was carb overload - nothing healthy there. At night it was very noisy, but nothing they could do about that. They gave us a 20% discount card, but it was not accepted on the roof top bar. Parking was valet only, no self parking.

The hotel has a great location so if that’s what you’re looking for, this is a great spot. However, it is incredibly noisy. All of the rooms are on one side of the hotel and all look out to a courtyard which is the outside patio for the restaurant. You literally can hear what the people at the table are saying. That wraps up around 10:30 and then you have the music from the rooftop bar at the adjoining building.||The room was beautiful but not worth what we paid for it. I would not return.

We visit Saint Petersburg quite often. We live in Port Charlotte but travel up to Beach Drive because it is just so amazing. We were there just for the weekend (12/20 -12/21). The Birchwood is exquisite, the atmosphere in the restaurant was top notch and the dinners we had were the most delicious we had experienced at any of the restaurants we have visited in the past in St. Pete. We returned the next day for brunch as well and the experience was exactly the same. The waitresses, Tonya and Jessica were very attentive and friendly. We met your manager George and he was the nicest person ever. He even took pictures with us and for us. We will return that's a promise. Ron & Christina Andrews

Our evening at the Brichwood Canopy was AMAZING! You just can't beat the view. The food was delicious and the drinks were great too. Our server, Judah, was the best. He took care of us all night and had great conversations and a lot of laughs. Ask for Judah if you go!

For the price, a few common conveniences are expected, but not included. Parking is a nightmare, the noise in this hotel is exceptionally loud, we were on the 3rd floor, main hotel elevator locked at a certain time then have to use the outside one. The snootyness of the employees was a big turnoff Will not be back
