Lifestyle hotel Moxy St. Pete opens in St. Petersburg, Florida
Moxy St. Pete, under management from the Wurzak Hotel Group, recently opened in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida.
Located on Central Avenue, one of the most vibrant streets in Florida, the newly built property is the first lifestyle hotel in the downtown core. Meticulously designed by Storyn Studio for Architecture, the hotel introduces 163 guest rooms and suites; the Edge District’s first rooftop pool deck, as well as a poolside bar; and a dynamic lobby featuring Rose’s coffee bar, indoor and outdoor spaces, a large lobby bar that opens up to the street, a podcast studio, conference space, and work areas.
Additionally, the hotel will open the new location of Sparrow this fall, marking the latest destination of a Florida-favourite rooftop dining and nightlife experience.
About Moxy St. Pete
The lobby offers an array of spaces for work and play, including eye-catching furnishings and comfortable seating areas, along with an indoor stage area to host local live music and entertainment.
Bar Moxy, the hotel’s indoor-outdoor lobby bar, offers specialty cocktails, beer, wine, and seltzers along with an assortment of refreshing non-alcoholic beverages–the perfect kick-off to a hotel stay or for enjoying a drink before heading to dinner on Central Avenue. At Bar Moxy, guests can also enjoy classic salads, flatbreads, fresh sushi rolls including the Central Ave Crunch, and an array of handheld options from the Lobster Roll and Tuna Poke Fish Tacos to the signature Moxy Grass-Fed Beef Burger.
Continuing through the lobby, Rose’s Coffee Bar is an elevated coffee shop serving espresso-based beverages, cold brew, nitro brew, and drip coffee. Rose’s also offers assorted pastries, toasts, smoothies, and other light bites. This location marks the second Rose’s Coffee Bar, joining its first location in Fort Lauderdale.
Additional hotel offerings include a podcast studio in the lobby, available for the public to rent for free, and 1,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, adorned with a unique pool mural that plays on viewers’ depth perception, by Miami-based artist duo Allison Matherly and Jeffrey Noble. The hotel’s meeting room also features shuffleboard floors as a tribute to the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club, the oldest and largest in the world. On the sixth floor, the hotel’s 24-7 fitness centre is equipped with a boxing bag, gymnastics equipment, Peloton bikes, and a full-circuit gym.
Beautiful rooms and a rooftop pool
The hotel’s inviting guest rooms provide a cozy retreat with plush beds and refreshing rain showers. Each room is bathed in serene, natural light from expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, with select rooms featuring balconies overlooking the excitement on Central Avenue.
These tech-forward rooms also offer spacious bathrooms and are complemented by thoughtful amenities and a minimalist, streamlined design.
Moxy St. Pete is home to the neighborhood’s first rooftop pool destination. Located on the 7th floor, guests are greeted by a pool lined with colourful cabanas alongside Sip ‘n Dip, an open-air bar ideal for enjoying refreshing cocktails and poolside favorites including fresh fruit plates, chips and guacamole, and chicken tenders, as well as elevated offerings such as the fresh Seafood Tower featuring Citrus Shrimp, Oysters, Tuna Poke, Lobster, and Black Pepper Mignonette. Miami-based artist Douglas Hoekzema, known as Hoxxoh, designed the rooftop’s distinctive and complex geometric mural overlooking the surroundings.
Also on the roof and slated to open this fall, the highly anticipated Sparrow will boast unobstructed city views from the area’s first rooftop bar and lounge. Drawing inspiration from the clean lines and natural materials of 1950s and 1960s American Modernism, the 4,000-square foot space will serve as a fun-filled hideaway.
During the day, Sparrow will offer a cozy location for grabbing a bite and soaking up St. Pete sunshine or relaxing under the shade of beautiful trees and rooftop landscaping. As night falls, Sparrow will become the city’s premiere nightlife destination, featuring Asian-inspired cuisine, craft cocktails, and sleek decor. Guests will enjoy panoramic views from every corner, including the indoor main bar, lounge, restaurant, and outdoor bar.
