Tell us a little bit about this place.
Spanning nine 18th-century buildings, The Collector pairs all the charm of a bed and breakfast with all the amenities of a true luxury hotel. The property is also walking distance of some of St. Augustine's top attractions, like Castillo de San Marcos, the Lightner Museum, and Flagler College.
Can you describe the digs for us?
All 30 rooms are modern, spacious, and feature period furnishings. Expect colorful stained glass windows, coquina walls, quaint watercolor paintings, and high-beamed ceilings.
Talk us through the food.
The on-site bar, The Well, is housed in an old garage. The cocktail menu includes classic as well as herb-fueled local elixirs, all paired with small bites. You'll need to go off-site to truly get your fill, but breakfast is included in the room rate.
How did you find the service, start to finish?
No little detail is overlooked, from interesting on-site activities (like watercolor painting in the courtyard) to immaculate turndown service.
What's the guest demographic here?
The hotel has an age minimum of 16, making this a great retreat for harried parents.
What about the neighborhood? What else is around?
It's walkable to most of St. Augustine's best attractions.
Bottom line: Why are we choosing the Collector?
The Collector's attention to detail put it in the same class as many higher-tier hotels.
