Casa Monica Hotel Nights of Lights St Augustine FL

We loved our stay at the Casa Monica Hotel in St. Augustine, FL. It is one of the most unique and historic hotels in America. The Moorish Revival-style hotel opened in 1888 as a lavish winter getaway for the rich and still maintains a lavish atmosphere today. During our stay at the Casa Monica Hotel we experienced a warm ambience and friendly staff.

The intricate balconies, hand painted Italian tile and Moorish Revival-style architecture make this hotel one of the most attractive hotels in Florida. The lobby, decorated in fine Spanish tapestries, fountains and lavish chandeliers has the feel of an elegant Moroccan hotel and the courtyard pool deck was outstanding.
