Historic Casablanca Inn one of Most Photographed St. Augustine Boutique Hotels

(Forbes Magazine Names St. Augustine in Top ‘10’ Prettiest Cities)

The Casablanca Inn is one of the most photographed buildings in St. Augustine, whether from the water, looking at its majestic white pillars and porches or from the inn itself gazing across the river.

With its prominent position on the bayfront of St. Augustine, Florida, the Casablanca Inn is one of the first historic boutique hotels that visitors encounter when arriving in America’s oldest city (circa 1565). Within steps of the famed Bridge of Lions and the St. Augustine Marina, the bayfront (Matanzas Bay) is also recognized as the Intracoastal Waterway that winds from Maine to Miami.

St. Augustine, listed in the Top 10 Prettiest Cities by Forbes Magazine on March 29, the publication made their selection based on natural beauty, a unique identity or a combination of the two. “The town’s picturesque historic district is full of old-world atmosphere, historic homes and easily explored on foot”.

Casablanca Inn’s open air verandah features the popular Tini Martini Bar, which offers one of the City’s premier views of the waterfront that feeds into the Atlantic Ocean, also within eyesight of the Inn.
