The Renaissance Vinoy Resort, St. Petersburg Celebrates 85 Years with Prizes

The Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg, Florida is celebrating its 85th anniversary this month in a big way. For the entire month of December, one lucky guest per night will get a Golden Ticket to be redeemed for a choice of: dinner for two at Marchand's Bar & Grill or Fred's Steakhouse (up to $85), one complimentary 60-minute spa treatment at the Vinoy Day Spa & Salon, or one round of golf at the private 18-hole course complete with club and shoe rental. Even if you don't score gold you can still snag serious holiday savings with the $100 Resort Credit Getaway. When you stay two nights or more, you'll get a $100 resort credit and an additional $50 credit per night. While you're there, check out the giant replica of the resort made from chocolate, royal icing, marzipan and fondant. Weighing in at almost 150 pounds and standing about two ft. tall, this sweet delicacy required over three months of work and 200 man hours to complete. Located on the waterfront in St. Petersburg, the Renaissance Vinoy Resort is the only luxury resort on Florida's West Coast with the combination of a private marina, 18-hole golf course and 12-court tennis complex.
