The Casa Monica is a Multi Million Dollar Renovated Hotel in St. Augustine. In a town where you have to look past the old to appreciate the old, not with the Casa Monica. Kessler's team has lovingly returned this Resort to its former glory, while respecting the history of the property. The Casa Monica became a Courthouse for several decades before being converted back to a resort. We stayed in a narrow King Suite on the second floor, the room had that signature "Kessler" look. Valet at the hotel, it is cheap ($22) and the only parking intown (that is safe) is for a fee anyway. The rooms are completely up to date and modern and property includes all the luxury touches you would expect, from a Marriott Property. In addition to affordable parking, the hotel bar, breakfast and dinner are also excellent and price right. The Sunday brunch, is one of the best I have ever had and is less than $30. Ok, problems? Yes of-course, the check-in, did not go smooth and Autograph Collection properties are always slacking, always. Also the bar stops serving at 11pm on a Saturday night... that is crazy! The excuse, is that they do not want to keep up the hotel guest.. Really 11pm. The bar was full of people and I did not hear a thing from my room all weekend. The pool is nice and the gym is adequate, there is no concierge to speak of, but there is plenty of shopping and dining within a short walk.
