The Best St. Augustine Hotel

In the heart of the oldest part of the city sits our St. Augustine Hotel. But we are not right in the middle of all the action. Our accommodations are located on a more secluded, quiet corner of town so you’ll feel as if this is your private sanctuary to rest, relax, and rejuvenate for more adventures. The narrow, brick-paved streets that surround our St. Augustine hotel lead to museums, historical sites, restaurants, shops, and more. We are conveniently located but still maintain a serene ambiance. Here are 5 reasons why we are the best St. Augustine hotel near downtown.

  1. Our guest rooms are a big part of why we are the best St. Augustine hotel. Rooms are all elegantly and tastefully appointed with classic decor that hearkens back to another time. All rooms are different and unique in configuration, decor, and amenities which makes your stay even more special. Perhaps you want a room with a private deck and an outdoor seating area. Or maybe you would like an electric fireplace, a private front porch overlooking the gardens, or a whirlpool tub with your shower. Choose the best room that will make your stay perfect.
  2. Our award-winning gardens provide an oasis in the middle of the city for you to escape to and relax. The native species in the walled garden courtyard that make up the vegetation in the landscaping compliments the ambiance of our Florida inn. This sanctuary is perfect for year-round enjoyment. Here you can read, unwind at the end of the day, savor a delicious breakfast, share in the inn’s social hour, and cook s’mores at the firepit at our St. Augustine hotel.
  3. The seemingly endless list of amenities we offer will help make your stay at our St. Augustine hotel that much more memorable. You’ll enjoy taking a dip in the swimming pool to cool off on a hot day. The pool is temperature-controlled and so maintains a temp of about 85 degrees for year-round fun. The poolside is also another great place to lounge. If you’d like to head to nearby St. Augustine Beach we can set you up with beach towels, chairs, and off-street parking. We offer these and many more amenities to make your stay as comfortable as possible!
  4. We want to make sure that you start your day of exploring St. Augustine off right so we offer breakfasts each morning at our St. Augustine hotel. Breakfasts always include 2 hot homemade entrees, fruit, and freshly baked bread. On Saturdays and Sundays, a special extended brunch is served until 10:30 am. You’ll end each day with our homemade desserts, different every day. You savor layer cakes, fruit pies, crisps, and chocolate brownies to name a few.
  5. One of the best things about our St. Augustine hotel is that it is located near downtown and so is a part of the history of this incredible city. The colorful past of this “oldest inn” includes being a part of the city’s second Spanish Colonial period. The architecture reflects this time when homes were constructed like fortresses in case of attack. The home passed through many hands, much of which were military personnel. Today the inn stands as a retreat and escape from the hustle and bustle of the downtown while still being conveniently located.
