Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Come sunset, the Hyatt Regency’s salmon pink façade fades into the scene at Clearwater Beach, with a rooftop portico to soak it all in from.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The paved Beach Walk promenade runs right outside, and Pier 60 sits a short stroll up the sand.
The rooms
Suites come with kitchenettes or full kitchens, and private balconies look straight out over the Gulf.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Water fountains spray across the heated eighth-floor swimming terrace, bordered by private cabanas looking straight out to sea.
The spa
Eight treatment rooms host coastal sand and marine algae rituals. An indoor waterfall wall trickles inside the relaxation lounge.
Whirlpool and gym
A hot tub deck looks out from the sixteenth floor, and the twenty-four-hour fitness center faces the bay.
Bar
OffSHOR
The indoor lounge looks toward Gulf sunsets through panoramic windows, pouring craft cocktails and local beers.
Restaurant
SHOR American Seafood Grill
Chefs work in an open kitchen preparing regional Gulf seafood and steaks, served indoors or on the promenade terrace.
At the table
Tropico Rooftop Cantina mixes frozen drinks by the pool deck, and the twenty-four-hour Market sells coffee and beach snacks.
How it began
The property was originally developed as Aqualea Residences, created as the centerpiece of Clearwater Beach's thirty-million-dollar waterfront promenade.
