St. Augustine, FL
The Moorish Revival Casa Monica Resort & Spa has long been the heart of St. Augustine. Once owned by railroad pioneer, hotel magnate, and Standard Oil co-founder Henry Flagler, this majestic St. Augustine, Florida resort has been a landmark of the historic city since 1888. The Depression forced the hotel to close in 1932, and it remained vacant until 1968 when it was dedicated as the St. John’s County Courthouse. In 1997, the building underwent yet another conversion, to reopen in early 2000 as a luxury hotel. The iconic St. Augustine hotel features a lobby that boasts hand-painted, gold-leafed archways and rich Spanish tapestries. While offering state-of-the-art amenities, each intimate guestroom is appropriately appointed with furnishings that reflect the rich history of the community.

What is the difference between a B&B and a boutique hotel?
A B&B is typically an owner-operated home with a few guest rooms and homemade breakfast. A boutique hotel is a small, design-focused hotel (usually under 100 rooms) with unique decor, upscale amenities, and a restaurant or bar. B&Bs are more personal; boutique hotels are more polished.
How much do unique stays cost in St. Augustine?
B&Bs range from $100-$250/night. Boutique and historic hotels run $150-$400/night. Inns are $120-$300/night. Wilderness lodges and resorts can be $200-$600+/night, often including meals and activities. Prices vary by season — summer and fall (leaf peeping) are peak in most regions.
What are the best regions for a B&B getaway?
New England (Vermont, Maine, the Berkshires), California wine country and the coast, the Carolinas and Georgia low country, Colorado mountain towns, and the Pacific Northwest are all exceptional B&B and inn regions. Each offers unique scenery, food, and experiences.
Do B&Bs and inns accommodate families?
Many do, but some are adults-only for a quieter atmosphere. Check the property listing or call ahead. Family-friendly properties often highlight kid amenities, connecting rooms, or cabins. Lodges, resorts, and larger inns tend to be more family-oriented than small B&Bs.
What is the cancellation policy for independent stays?
Policies vary by property — most require 48-72 hours notice for a full refund. Peak season and holiday bookings may require 7-14 days notice or be non-refundable. Always check the cancellation terms before booking. Booking direct (not through aggregators) often gives you more flexibility.
Why book a B&B or inn instead of a hotel chain?
Independent stays offer unique character, local knowledge from owners, homemade food, and often better value. You support small businesses and local economies. The experience is personal — owners recommend restaurants, hidden trails, and local events that guidebooks miss.
