About the Fenway Hotel:
Originally opened in 1927, Fenway Hotel is an icon of the jazz age, playing host to notable explorers, artists, politicians, musicians, and living legends in its time as an operating hotel. Today, the Autograph Collection hotel features 83 guest rooms and suites, 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space featuring the Caladesi Ballroom with water views, a resort-style pool, and an expansive front lawn ideal for events. Onsite dining includes HEW Parlor & Chophouse, featuring chophouse cuts, chef-driven seasonal preparations, and Hi-Fi Rooftop Bar overlooking St. Joseph Sound.
We’ve created a homage to Dunedin’s rich music history and a destination for those to get carried away in their own verse. If you share our passion, it’s time to write your own tune with us and join the band at Dunedin’s very own jazz-inspired boutique hotel. Can you sing along? Apply today!
