Holiday Inn Express St Augustine Dtwn Historic  

On coastal St. Augustine, just off Route A1A and across from the sparkling Salt Run. Tucked between historic downtown and the beaches, this hotel is a launch pad for Colonial-era sites and stretches of preserved coastal wilderness.

Rooms feel spacious and breezy — many come with flat-screen TVs, coffee makers, microwaves and in-room irons. Pick a suite with a private hot tub for a stay-in night, or step outside to watch stars from the outdoor pool after a day of wandering.

Start days at a free continental breakfast and a 24-hour coffee bar. Take a dip in the outdoor pool, grab concierge tips at the front desk for local rambling, or hop on sightseeing trains that offer on-demand pickup at the door. Several restaurants and cocktail lounges are within easy walking distance.

High-speed wireless internet keeps you connected, and fax and copy machines are available at the front desk. In-room ironing boards and irons make quick work of last-minute prep.

Complimentary continental breakfast each morning and a 24-hour coffee bar keep things simple and satisfying. A short stroll delivers a variety of nearby restaurants and bars where local flavors await.
