About Courtyard by Marriott St. Petersburg Downtown

Courtyard by Marriott St. Petersburg Downtown is a beautifully restored 1926 historic building, refreshed with a full renovation in 2024. Located right in the heart of downtown, it’s just steps from great dining and St. Pete’s lively business and arts scene. The team at Courtyard enjoys helping local businesses and visiting teams find a hotel that feels just as unique as the city itself. They work closely with corporate partners, group planners, and travel managers to make booking simple and flexible, whether it’s for business travel, meetings, training sessions, or longer stays. They help people find the right fit in terms of space, rates, and overall experience.

“Being part of the St. Pete business community means working within a collaborative, relationship‑driven environment where businesses genuinely support one another. There’s a shared pride in the city and a strong willingness to partner, connect, and grow together. That sense of community makes St. Pete a rewarding place to do business. With its vibrant culture, waterfront lifestyle, and focus on innovation, St. Pete attracts top talent while fostering a community-oriented mindset where businesses actively support one another’s growth, creating an environment where businesses can scale, build meaningful relationships, and increase their local visibility and impact. “
