This little gem in St. Augustine is so unique and full of history! The Collector, a small boutique hotel, consists of nine historic houses & buildings, the oldest house was built in 1790 and named after its most famous resident, Prince Murat, who was a nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. The lobby was originally a general store and the craft cocktail bar was originally the first 2 car garage in St. Augustine. We loved the beautiful gardens which are filled with antiquities and charming nooks and crannies. One city block with 4 centuries of history! There was even a complimentary historical tour of the property. Our room was in the Canova house that was built in 1840. It was a beautifully appointed room with a kitchenette and Nespresso coffee maker. The manager said every room and suite is different but they all have the same amenities. There’s a pool and complimentary bicycles, too! It’s located conveniently in the old town area and restaurants, museums and shopping are minutes away. We dined at the Collage (we highly recommend this restaurant, too!) which was an 8 minute walk. If you’re looking for a unique stay in St. Augustine you will won’t be disappointed (in fact over 65% of their guests are returning guests!). BTW it’s adult only.
