Chateau Beachfront Hotel offers rooms with two queen-size beds, a table-top refrigerator, and views of the Gulf of Mexico. Rooms are located on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors, with deluxe suites featuring two double beds, a queen sofa sleeper, and a kitchenette for six guests.
Dining & Drinks
Barefoot Hide-A-Way Bar & Grill serves Gulf-front favorites like po' boys, oysters, and seafood platters. The poolside tiki bar offers Key Lime Piña Coladas and select food items. Nearby, The Shrimp Boat Restaurant provides waterfront dining with views of St. Andrews Bay.
Gulf Coast Activities
The hotel is 5 minutes from Frank Brown Park, hosting baseball tournaments and the Gulf Coast Jam music festival. Guests can join Shell Island tours, visit Pier Park's 124 shops, or bike along scenic routes. Zoo World, featuring sloths and giraffes, is a short drive away.
Beach Access
Located steps from the Gulf, the hotel provides direct beach access. Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport is 30 km away, with Delta, Southwest, and United Airlines operating flights. Pier Park, a shopping and dining hub, is within easy reach.
Group & Pet Stays
The hotel accommodates groups with room blocks for seven or more. Holiday Terrace, a sister property, allows pets and features a beachfront pool. Event spaces like The Patio at Chateau host weddings with sunset views over the Gulf.
“For the price, I think this beachfront hotel is a solid option in Panama City Beach, especially with those Gulf views. I like that many rooms have kitchenettes and balconies, which is ideal for longer stays, and the tiki bar on site definitely adds to the appeal. While it's clear this isn't a luxury resort, it has an easy-going, family-friendly vibe.”

Our room was decent, but service could be improved. Getting towels and toilet paper was a hassle. The location was fantastic though - right on the beach, near restaurants, and with great views. The pool was clean and the grounds were well kept, but a little more attention to cleanliness in the rooms would make it perfect!
