Info
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel St. Augustine Historic District is situated at 116 San Marco Avenue in the heart of St. Augustine, Florida, just 0.3 miles from the iconic Castillo de San Marcos. This Spanish colonial-style property features 200 rooms with plantation shutters, custom-designed mahogany furniture, and private balconies overlooking either the Matanzas River or the historic district. Guests are greeted with the brand’s signature warm chocolate chip cookie at check-in. The hotel stands out for its 17th-century-inspired courtyard with a heated saltwater pool surrounded by coquina stone walls, where flamenco performances are held monthly. Business travelers utilize the 10,000 sq ft conference center with built-in A/V systems, while leisure guests enjoy the History Concierge service that arranges private tours of lesser-known sites like the Tolomato Cemetery. All rooms include mini-fridges and Keurig coffee makers, with suites adding separate living areas and wet bars. Dining options include the on-site Aviles Restaurant serving Minorcan clam chowder (a local specialty) and a lobby bar crafting cocktails with St. Augustine Distillery spirits. The hotel partners with Red Train Tours, offering exclusive discounted tickets for guests to explore the city’s 450-year-old landmarks. Transportation to the property is multifaceted. Northeast Florida Regional Airport (UST) is only 5 miles away with free hotel shuttle service, while major air travelers typically fly into Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) 50 minutes north, where rental cars and shared shuttle services like GO Airport Express are available. The hotel provides complimentary bicycles for exploring the compact historic district, and the Old Town Trolley’s main stop is directly across the street, offering hop-on/hop-off access to 22 attractions. Drivers will appreciate the hotel’s $18/day valet parking (with in/out privileges), crucial in this area where street parking is extremely limited. EV charging stations are available, and the St. Augustine Amtrak Station is 2 miles away for those arriving by rail. Pedestrians can easily walk to most historic sites – the Bridge of Lions to Anastasia Island is just a 12-minute stroll, and the St. George Street shopping corridor begins 500 feet south. For boat access, the hotel arranges water taxi service from the Municipal Marina to attractions like the St. Augustine Lighthouse. Dining within a 10-minute walk satisfies every palate. Columbia Restaurant on St. George Street serves legendary 1905 Salad prepared tableside in Florida’s oldest continuously operating eatery, while The Floridian specializes in modern Southern fare like fried green tomato sandwiches with pimento cheese. Breakfast seekers queue at Blue Hen Café for their benedicts with datil pepper hollandaise (a St. Augustine specialty pepper), and craft beer enthusiasts flock to Dog Rose Brewing Company’s English-style pub ales. Hidden gem Catch 27 offers waterfront dining with blackened redfish tacos, and chocolate lovers shouldn’t miss Whetstone Chocolates’ factory tour with free samples. For quick bites, The Kookaburra’s Australian meat pies make perfect picnic fare for the nearby Plaza de la Constitución. Coffee aficionados debate whether Relámpago Coffee Lab’s pour-overs or The Coffee Grinder’s balcony views are better. Late-night options include Prohibition Kitchen’s live music and moonshine cocktails until 2AM. Key institutions and businesses surround the area. Government buildings include the St. Johns County Administration Complex and the St. Augustine City Hall with its distinctive bell tower. Major employers are Flagler Hospital, the St. Augustine Distillery, and Flagler College whose students frequent the area. Educational institutions range from Florida School for the Deaf and Blind (founded 1885) to the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. Historical sites abound, starting with the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument – the oldest masonry fort in the continental U.S. – and the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park where Ponce de León allegedly landed. The Lightner Museum occupies Henry Flagler’s former Alcazar Hotel, displaying Gilded Age curiosities alongside a stunning indoor swimming pool turned café. Lesser-known gems include the Oldest Wooden School House and the Ximenez-Fatio House Museum showcasing 18th-century life. Recreation and entertainment options are plentiful. The St. Augustine Amphitheatre hosts major concerts in a coastal oak hammock setting, while the Limelight Theatre stages contemporary plays. Sports enthusiasts use the Willie Galimore Center’s tennis courts or join kayak tours from Ripple Effect Ecotours. Unique experiences include ghost tours at the St. Augustine Lighthouse (climbing its 219 steps at night) or wine tastings at San Sebastian Winery’s rooftop bar. Shopping ranges from St. George Street’s tourist shops to The Shops at St. Augustine’s upscale boutiques. Nature lovers explore the Alligator Farm Zoological Park or bike the Guana River State Park trails. Golfers have four championship courses within 20 minutes, including the oceanfront St. Johns Golf Club. Budget-friendly lodging alternatives include Best Western Bayfront (similar location with bay views at 30% lower rates) and St. George Inn above the pedestrian shopping street. Extended-stay options like TownePlace Suites by Marriott offer kitchenettes, while backpackers prefer Pirate Haus Inn’s hostel-style dorm rooms. For location-conscious savings, Holiday Inn Express St. Augustine-Historic District provides comparable proximity to attractions.

Guest reviews average 4.2/5 across platforms, with consistent praise for the hotel’s historic ambiance and exceptional staff service.

Business travelers commend the soundproof meeting rooms and reliable high-speed WiFi (tested at 75Mbps). Families appreciate the pool’s shallow section and kid-friendly menus. Critical reviews most often mention the $28 resort fee (including WiFi and shuttle service) and occasional noise from the busy San Marco Avenue. Loyalty program members note excellent Diamond tier recognition, often receiving upgrades to river-view rooms. Recent guests highlight the new History & Sips evening program featuring local historians and complimentary cocktails. Environmental efforts like the elimination of single-use plastics earn praise, while some note the lack of a full-service spa as a drawback. The most recurring compliment involves the staff’s encyclopedic knowledge of local history, with many guests reporting learning more from bellmen than paid tours. Several reviews mention the hotel’s pet policy (allowing dogs up to 75 lbs for $75 fee) as unusually generous for historic properties.
