The Renaissance Vinoy Hotel is a jewel in downtown St Petersburg. This luxury hotel was built in the Roaring 20s and has been restored to its original Mediterranean charm and style.
Guests of course enjoy all the amenities, and so do members of the Vinoy Club.
Some of the members come up to the ornate lobby after working out in the gym or playing tennis, and bring our coffee upstairs to relax and chat.
What a welcome when we have our facing couches "reserved" and newspapers ready and waiting.
Sharing conversation is a great way to start the morning - sometimes we talk about boats, sometimes politics, sometimes local events, and sometimes personal happenings.
It's a diverse group, with diverse viewpoints.
