The hotel

Restored to its 1888 glory, and registered in the National Trust Historic Hotels of America, this Moorish castle-like landmark is a very special place to stay. With authentic period features and decor, you really will feel like you have taken a step back into yesteryear. This hotel was the hang-out of aristocracy and royalty; inside, it's all tapestries, velvet and chandeliers, with top-class dining and discreet service. It's in the heart of the Historic District, where you'll find boutiques, antique shops, museums and more. The Poseidon Spa is a great addition to this luxurious hotel and provides the perfect place for some relaxation and pampering. If the hotel itself isn't already enough, you've got access to the private Serenata Beach Club on pristine Ponte Vedra Beach, which is just a 15 minute drive away. Enjoy a day on the beach with your toes in the St Augustine coquina sand, or splashing around in the family pool before an oceanfront dinner.

My wife and I went there to celebrate our anniversary and just get away for a nite. We checked in early and Nardia at the desk said we had a room ready for us which was very unexpected. Told her a quick anniversary trip and she sent chocolate covered strawberrys and wine to our room later that evening. The room was very nice, the restaraunt was outstanding and the pool was relaxing. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great time. Thank Nardia and the rest of the staff. Read less

Here for a birthday party this weekend and was impressed with the hotel, banquet hall, bar, and restaurant. Service was always attentive and courteous. Jakin greeted us at the door and always held it open for us. Luis at the front desk was very helpful and got us some extra towels. Love the ambiance around the pool.

We love visiting Florida from New York and on this trip decided to check out some of the history of Saint Augustine. Staying at the Casa Monica was perfect as it reflected that old world charm. Ornate fountains, pillars, carpets, paintings, and more. Even better was that it was located right in the middle of the old town allowing us to walk to everything. The concierge Charlene gave us some great tips on places to go. The valet Jakin recommended a late night Taco shop just a few blocks away when we got hungry after hours. And be sure and have a meal at the Cordova restaurant. Great food and friendly service. Read less

Great experience! Kids love the statues and medieval feel. Dad and mom love the bar. :) The staff has been very helpful. Jakin walked me to my car when I forgot some medicine. John got us checked in quickly. Zarkya (sp) greeted us at the door. We feel like royalty. Thanks!
