The Holiday Inn Clearwater Beach enjoys a prime location along the Gulf of Mexico shores on Florida’s west coast. Designed in the style of a Mediterranean resort, this Clearwater Beach hotel is a collection of stucco structures with terracotta roofs, sparkling pools and towering palm trees—steps away from blue ocean waters and white-sand beaches.

This Gulf-meets-the-Mediterranean hotel boasts recently renovated guestrooms and suites — many with private balconies — and all with updated decor. The traditional-style guestrooms have a pair of queen beds or a single king, and the suites can sleep between two and eight guests. Perks include flat-screen LCD TVs, complimentary Internet access, and granite countertops. The suites add more space and kitchen facilities, plus ocean views and frequent dolphin sightings.

Beyond the guestrooms, the Holiday Inn Clearwater Beach offers a hosts of amenities for those enjoying Clearwater vacations. Its coffee shop serves up cups of joe and freshly brewed tea, along with ice cream and breakfast each morning. You’ll also find a salon and a game room at the Holiday Inn. Heading outdoors, there’s a large deck with excellent Gulf views and a kids pool. The main pool is surrounded by palm trees and chaise lounges, close to the beach and the jet ski rental shops.

When it’s time for fun, you’ll enjoy the easy access. It’s just a 500-foot stroll to the white sands of Clearwater Beach, as smooth as powder, and the warm Gulf. It’s also an easy walk to Pier 60, where the community and its visitors gather to watch the sun set, listen to live music and go shopping.

If all that fun has worked up an appetite, you don’t need to look any further than the on-site restaurant at the Holiday Inn Clearwater Beach, one of the top hotels near Pier 60. A favorite with locals as well as guests, the restaurant features a Key West atmosphere and plenty of indoor/outdoor seating with ocean views. All three meals are served daily along with an innovative menu of cocktails.
