The Crystal Bay Historic Hotel overlooks Sunset Park and Boca Ciega Bay at the gateway of the Treasure Island Causeway. Originally the Sunset Hotel, it was built in 1915 and is a monument of a thriving St. Petersburg past. It once hosted celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Babe Ruth, Glen Miller, Robert Kennedy, and many other acclaimed individuals.
In 2015, marking the 100-year anniversary of the Sunset Hotel, a total renovation was completed, and a healing transformation has taken place. This historic resort hotel now breathes with new life as the Crystal Bay Historic Hotel.
