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.

We loved Casa Monica. It was beautiful and great location. It was clean and the pillows were the way I like them. It had a very comfortable chair and ottoman in the room. Everyone was so nice.

We loved Casa Monica. It was beautiful and great location. It was clean and the pillows were the way I like them. It had a very comfortable chair and ottoman in the room. Everyone was so nice. The restaurant was wonderful, I recommend you make a reservation to dine there. We were there when a wedding was taking place and lots of people. All of the tours we booked picked us up there. A lady dressed in the era of when it was built gave a tour of the hotel's history, but we were too tired to go. I would have love that. Read less

This is our second time visiting this property. The quality of service was exceptional and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. Thank you Trent, at the front desk for a seamless check-in experience and making sure we were all settled in. Our keys somehow got deactivated and you were quick to resolve the issue. Dinner recommendations were on point- he knows his stuff. I’d ask for him again to just get more information. While waiting for our food delivery in the early hours of the morning in the lobby, we had some great chat with the bellman, Security Manager, and the Front desk Bob. They were all very knowledgeable of hotel history and were willing to chat while we waited. We were given waters, and even accommodated for a late check out which was a very nice effort! They shared information on a tour and we are looking forward for it tomorrow! We can’t wait to return again in the future! Happy Halloween! Read less
