1. Winter the Dolphin Room – Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach Resort, FL

The Clearwater Marine Aquarium—home to Winter the Dolphin—has partnered with The Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach Resort to bring the beloved dolphin and her sea turtle friend, Mavis, to your hotel experience.

Winter was critically injured and lost her tail in 2005 when she arrived at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, which is primarily a marine rehabilitation center. But she was treated and eventually fitted with the very first prosthetic dolphin tail to replace the one she lost, and she’s been inspiring kids and adults ever since!

The hotel offers 12 marine life-themed guestrooms, each one with a king bed and a set of bunk beds with either a Winter or Mavis the Sea Turtle theme, perfect for up-and-coming marine biologists!
