A Redington Shores Beachfront Tradition Since 1957
Hotel Sol has been part of the Redington Shores coastline since 1957, when this quiet stretch of white sand had just one hotel. Back then, the Gulf of Mexico was the main attraction, and more than six decades later, it still is.
Located between Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach, about 27 miles from Tampa International Airport, Hotel Sol has retained the intimate feel of a classic Florida beach getaway. There are no towering resort buildings or sprawling grounds separating guests from the shoreline. Just a small beachfront hotel where the sand and water remain the center of the experience.
Even the guest rooms reflect that history. Each is named after a Gulf gamefish, a small reminder of the hotel's roots and its enduring connection to the coast.
