Built in 1925 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, La Concha hosted royalty, presidents, and legendary authors such as Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams in its heyday but, by the early 1980s, only the rooftop bar was still open and the rest of the hotel was in disrepair. A massive, multi-million-dollar renovation restored it to its former glory, and the hotel re-opened in 1986. Today, this landmark is still famous for its rooftop, which is now a wrap-around observation deck offer- ing spectacular views of the city and surrounding waters. Other popular features of the hotel include the outdoor spa pool and pool bar with four levels of sundecks; and Celebrities, a 1930s-era dining and entertainment complex serving three meals daily along with live entertainment nightly. The hotel’s 160 guestrooms and suites are decorated in period furniture from the ’20s, with poster beds, lace curtains and antiques. Other hotel features include two gift shops, bicycle and scooter rentals, concierge service, and a complete meetings and catering department. It is also a stop along the Old Town Trolley route.
