Timeless meets modern, refined meets relaxed and plans meet the happenstance of life at The Karol Hotel, St. Petersburg Clearwater, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. Our AAA Four Diamond hotel on Ulmerton Road, Clearwater, FL is a glittering ornament in Florida's Feather Sound, offering the perfect backdrop for wonderful things to come. Call it fate, but it's certainly no accident that our gorgeously appointed hotel rooms and suites feel as though they're waiting for you to arrive. Extraordinary amenities throughout the hotel include a signature lobby bar and restaurant, a dazzling rooftop restaurant overlooking Tampa Bay, a resort-style pool, a fitness center and 7,340 square feet of event space, including a ballroom and conference rooms. Our hotel is just off the bay, 15 minutes from the Westshore District and a short drive from St. Pete-Clearwater and Tampa International Airport. Carillon Park, home to Raymond James Financial and Franklin Templeton Investments, is across the way. We cannot wait to welcome you.

    Business stay

    Great place for business travelers. Had the pleasure of enjoying the bistro for dinner. Nice selection of drinks and entrees. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere will stay here when in town. Like the proximity to downtown St. Pete and the beach.

    Thank you to the Karol staff!

    Staff was great when we had to evacuate for Hurricane Helene. While most hotels hate to give you an early check in - Karol staff got us in very early when I said we needed a place after the Hurricane! Extremely helpful to our family. They also had buffet service all day. Really nice people here.

    Wonderful but Not

    This is a wonderful upscale hotel. HOWEVER, it is a business hotel and, understandably, they are trying to drum up weekend business. I get it BUT, first, when we booked two nights on a weekend, they did not inform us of the unique “white only” event AND second, they do not take into consideration the loud music at the rooftop bar on the floors below. We were on the fifth floor listening to loud music above until midnight. I understand trying to encourage weekend business but not to the detriment of loyal (platinum) customers. In addition, the food at the bistro was “ok” but at a a more than “ok” price. I will, say that the staff overall were awesome. I did consistently hear that management has changed often and they are going through many changes. Hopefully, they will find a balance between their loyal customers and drumming up weekend business.

    Great hotel

    We had a great suite on the sixth floor that overlooked the bay. The room was extremely nice - with both a shower and a tub. The bed was very comfortable with a pillow-type top to it. Our room was quiet and we slept great. We ate both dinner and breakfast at the hotel which was also good.

    We will stay here again!

    We visit friends in the St. Petersburg area often. My daughter recommended The Karol hotel and it was a fabulous experience! The lobby is beautiful and the desk workers are pleasant and welcoming. And the room! It was large, airy and beautifully decorated. It even smelled fresh. The pillows and bed linens were comfortable as well as pristine. We will stay here again.
