Venture back to the
sixteenth century and take a sip of history at Ponce de Leon's “Fountain
of Youth” Park-you can even see the excavation of where he
and his men laid out a stone cross in the sand upon arriving at
Florida's beaches. It's all just minutes from our hotel in St. Augustine.
Visit the Colonial Spanish Quarter for a re-creation of the 1740s,
with costumed re-enactors demonstrating authentic blacksmithing,
candle-making and other crafts. Jump into a horse-drawn carriage
and see the Oldest House from 1720, the Oldest Store from 1840 and
more within the Old Gates of St. Augustine. Also near our hotel
in St. Augustine is the 144-block Restoration Area, where you can
bounce along narrow, uneven streets to enjoy colonial architectural
treasures as well as pubs, gift boutiques, restaurants and more.
Take a short ride from our St. Augustine hotel to nearby St. Augustine
Beach for watersports, fishing, and more-including a 120-year-old
Lighthouse.
Book a room at the Hampton Inn® hotel in St. Augustine-Historic
District, and enjoy the best of history and modern indulgences.
Stop by the front desk and our hotel team will gladly offer tips
on all the local sights.
