As part of its two-year repositioning, the historic Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg, Florida, announced the next phase of its renovation plans, taking place at the main resort. This stage of redevelopment includes enhancements to the resort’s amenities, including the spa, fitness center, tennis courts and dining facilities.

Beginning in January 2017, the resort will break ground on its all-new marina and pool view restaurant located on the Esplanade deck. This casual-dining restaurant will feature both indoor and outdoor seating with spectacular views of Tampa Bay.

Redevelopment will continue with a new parking garage structure. Built in the current location of the tennis courts, the two-story structure will feature enhanced tennis courts on the top level with a new fitness center on level two.

While some tennis courts will remain available to resort guests and club members during the renovation, the St. Petersburg Tennis Center has partnered with The Vinoy and will serve as the temporary home for tennis play. In return, The Vinoy is enabling the St. Petersburg Tennis Center to build three courts at their existing facility that the center will have use of indefinitely.

The main resort also will receive expanded spa and fitness amenities. In addition to its enhanced tennis facilities, the parking garage structure will be home to an all-new, 16,500-sf fitness center. Featuring state-of-the-art equipment, personal training rooms, multiuse rooms and additional locker rooms, the center is set to open in early 2018. In addition, the new, 9,000-sf spa facility will boast water features and tranquility gardens, an all-new wet area, spa-specific locker rooms, updated treatment and relaxation rooms and ideal accommodations for private parties. The spa is slated to open in late fall of 2018.
