About this property

The 1888 Hotel (Casita) 2Bed/1Bath Detached

The 1888 Hotel welcomes you to St. Petersburg, Florida. Here you’ll find a contributing structure in the Downtown Historic District, restored to meet all modern needs. This unit is a separate, detached 2-bedroom cottage. It is the only unit separate from the main building, giving you a unique private space. It’s in downtown near the Old Northeast neighborhood, offering close walking access to the energy of downtown while providing a tranquil stay slightly away from Central Avenue.

Please note this second-story cottage is located behind the main building and accessed by its own private staircase.

This unit features marble countertops, a full fridge with ice maker, and a complete kitchen with a full-size range. The bedrooms include a king bed in one room and a full-sized bed in the other, with a wardrobe in each and a desk in the full-bed room. The living area has a pull-out queen sleeper sofa and Smart TV.

A rare benefit is the in-unit washer and dryer, free to use and ideal for longer stays.

The unit includes one parking pass for the nearby MAACM parking garage. If you`d like to explore downtown, you can leave the car parked. Walk, take the free Downtown Looper trolley, or hop on an electric scooter found near the Kawha Coffee shop across the street.

The location is exceptional: next door to Must Wine Loft and walking distance to the highlights that make Downtown St. Pete a top destination. You’ll be 2 blocks from Vinoy Park, 2 blocks from Sundial Plaza, 4 blocks from the St. Pete Pier, 4 blocks from Central Avenue, and about a 10-minute drive to TripAdvisor’s #1 beach in the U.S., St. Pete Beach.

This property is not pet-friendly.

Liked: Location
The 1888 is an unconventional “hotel,” really an unmanned guest house but one supported by 24 hour service by phone and text as needed. The reps were extremely responsive to any query and they keep in touch with multiple texts throughout the stay. The Casita is a private cottage at the rear of the property with two bedrooms to sleep 4 and a couch that doubles as a single bed; this place would not sleep 3 couples but it worked out fine for our group of 5. It is nicely appointed with a kitchen with modern appliances and a bathroom with a stall shower. Very clean and comfortable, but the location is a major highlight- within easy walk to the Pier and waterfront restaurants. Parking is a bit of a bear with a 10 minute walk to their affiliated garage, but for quick in and outs there was plenty of temp parking on the streets around the hotel. We had two cars to park overnight and were able to put them both in the lot simultaneously with our one garage pass and leave one there all times since we only needed one to get around. Additional passes were available if needed for a fee. Overall a great stay and a recommended option for downtown St Pete proximity.
