Casa Monica Hotel

Fodor's Review:

Hand-stenciled Moorish columns and arches, hand-crafted chandeliers, and gilded iron tables decorate the lobby of this late-1800s Flagler-era masterpiece. A retreat for the nation's wealthiest until the Great Depression put it out of business, it has returned to its perch as St. Augustine's grande dame. The turrets, towers, and wrought-iron balconies offer a hint of what's inside. Rooms—dressed in blues, greens, and whites—include wrought-iron two- and four-poster beds and mahogany writing desks and nightstands. The downtown location is within walking distance of many attractions. Guests also have access to the Serenata Beach Club, including three pools, private beach access, and beach-equipment rentals. Pros: location; architecture and decor; service. Cons: tourist-clogged lobby; expensive parking; extra charges; small rooms.
