Author Series: Monica Kile
Monday, March 30, 2026 at 6 PM
Join local historian Monica Kile for an inside look at the hidden stories behind the grand jewel of St. Petersburg’s waterfront. She’ll unravel everything from the fantastic - if largely fabricated - tale of the golf ball and the pocket watch, to the world‑renowned contributing architect who somehow slipped through the cracks of history. She’ll also explore the complicated truth of who was welcomed at the hotel over the past century—and who was not.
All of these discoveries emerged during her research for the hotel’s 100th‑anniversary book, a project that also seems destined to be lost to history.
Space is limited; reservations are required.
