If you’re looking for a memorable stay in St. Augustine, Florida, with historic character, gardens, comfort, and a premium feel, The Collector Inn & Gardens is your best choice. It’s one of several historic inns sprinkled throughout the historic district.

But what sets it apart is the fact that it’s a boutique inn composed of nine historic homes on one city block, refurbished with modern amenities. The site was formerly the Dow Museum of Historic Houses and dates back to 1790.

Travelers should note, firstly, that this is an adults-only property, meaning that guests must be 16 to stay here. Each historic home is different, but includes multiple rooms within it. Suites have kitchenettes stocked with snacks, with coffee makers and a refrigerator with water. All beds are queen or king.

Amenities at The Collector Inn

Guests enjoy daily breakfast, which usually includes eggs and pastries, and an outdoor pool. The on-site bar, The Well, adds to the ambiance with craft cocktails and light bites. It doesn’t have a restaurant, which is the only reason it’s not a four-diamond hotel, but it’s still one of the top-rated in Florida.

The grounds include lush gardens, brick paths, fire pits, and fountains. It’s also been recently honored with its first Michelin Key.
