Casa Monica Hotel

Decorated with a villa style but encased in a castle-sized building, the Casa Monica Hotel has a boutique intimacy that masks the true depth of it's colossal volume. Hallways that lead you through interior archways, 24-karat gold ceilings, and irregular shaped alcoves create the feeling that this Florida hotel is, in fact, in coastal Spain.

Located in the oldest city in the US, the hotel's Spanish architecture nods to a time long before the English moved in. The open air corridors and shaded loungers of the Casa Monica Hotel's Beach Club are features of a style perfectly suited to the balmy climate of St. Augustine.

The fusion restaurant reminds guests of the culturally shifting past, and the high-speed internet and business center acknowledge a prosperous present. Make sure and venture into the port city to see cathedrals, castles, and homes in the same old world style, or take things decidedly slower on the St. Augustine beach.
