Marriott International’s elite Autograph Collection has added a new member in Dunedin, Florida: the Fenway Hotel. This historic boutique property partners with the Dunedin History Museum and the Taoist Tai Chi Society to offer guests a mix of cultural, wellness and leisure experiences. On-site Tai Chi classes are held on the hotel lawn, and other curated offerings include live music in the lobby, culinary events, dinner dances, bridge parties, skeet shooting, croquet and guided bicycle tours along local urban paths such as the 40-mile Pinellas Trail.
The Fenway Hotel’s storied past reaches back to 1927, when its rooms welcomed explorers, artists, politicians and musicians. Even earlier, in 1925, Pinellas County’s first radio station broadcast news and music from the hotel rooftop. Today the property features 83 guestrooms and suites that combine period charm with modern comforts. Dining options include HEW Parlor & Chophouse, known for prime cuts, and the Hi‑Fi Rooftop Bar, which offers views across St. Joseph Sound. The hotel also provides about 10,000 square feet of meeting and event space suitable for conferences, weddings and private functions.
Guests can take advantage of convenient local transportation such as the Jolly Trolley to reach nearby attractions including Clearwater Beach and Tarpon Springs. A rotating display of objects on loan from the Dunedin History Museum is exhibited in the hotel lobby, and the museum offers special tours and programming for Fenway visitors throughout the year. These collaborations create an immersive experience that highlights Dunedin’s history, arts and outdoor opportunities while providing a comfortable base for exploration.
Whether traveling for leisure or business, visitors at the Fenway Hotel can enjoy a blend of historic character, curated cultural programming and outdoor recreation. From rooftop views and live music to wellness classes on the lawn and extended trail rides, the hotel aims to deliver a distinct, locally rooted stay within the Autograph Collection portfolio.
