The Vinoy Hotel: Ghost Stories from St. Petersburg’s Pink Palace
Episode notes
About this episode
| The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club has watched over downtown St. Petersburg’s waterfront since opening as the Vinoy Park Hotel on New Year’s Eve 1925. Its Mediterranean Revival architecture and famous pink exterior have made it an enduring city landmark. This Short visits the historic hotel and introduces the haunting tales associated with the property. The Vinoy closed in 1974, stood empty for years and reopened after a major restoration in 1992, a dramatic history that helps explain its place in local ghost lore. |
