This historic Triple A Four Diamond historic hotel was first established in 1888 and was built by Franklin Smith and later purchased from him by Henry Flagler across the street from his Alcazer hotel.

The hotel resembles a medieval castle and has been the home away from home for kings, presidents, dignitaries and industry czars. Unfortunately, during the depression the hotel, then named The Cordova, was forced to close its doors and did not re-open until 1962, when it was converted into the St. Johns County Courthouse.

In 1997, The Kessler Enterprise Inc purchased the courthouse and restored the building to its original elegance.

Today, many an elegant wedding is celebrated in one of the many banquet halls that comprise more than 12,000 square feet of flexible space. For larger size weddings, the Casa Monica Ballroom offers 4000 square feet that can be divided into three sections. For the intimate affairs, the Alcazar Room, Cordova Room or the San Marcos Room provides ideal settings.

We did have the opportunity to sample a lunch at the hotel prepared by the hotel’s Swiss born and European trained chef, René Nyfeler, and if this is any indication of the quality of their banquet menus, you certainly are in for a treat! His New World Electric Cuisine has put St. Augustine on the culinary map.

For something different, the personnel of this old world charm hotel will even arrange to have you arrive at your reception in one of their antique cars.
