“The 1888 Hotel is a thoughtfully designed place to stay, offering apartment-style accommodations with fully equipped kitchenettes that are especially convenient. Its central location makes it easy to walk to downtown St. Petersburg, but its calm setting promises a peaceful night's sleep. I was impressed with the attention to detail, from the well-furnished rooms to the seamless virtual concierge service.”
