The Basics

Stay for the Story

The inn was built in 1791 as a family home, but it’s been an inn since 1845. You’ll see our origins wherever you look. Walking through you’ll find exposed beams and period furniture. St Augustine loves its history. As its oldest inn, we fit right in.

I cannot speak highly enough of St. Francis Inn. This place is magic. The Inn is beautiful and well-maintained. We stayed at Miss Emily's room, which was lovely and spotless. They serve a different complimentary breakfast every morning, and even have lattes and drinks available. The staff are all very kind, hospitable, and good resources for how to enjoy St. Augustine. The inn is about a 8-15 minute walk...See More

We LOVED our stay at the St. Francis Inn! Everything about the place was FIVE STAR PLUS! Service was great. One morning on the Breakfast Buffet there was a food item I had an allergy to, my own fault, I did not make them aware of it, but they went ahead and made me a custom breakfast anyway! Which was delicious as was all the food. Our daughter, who...See More

I am so glad to have chosen St Francis inn for my stay last weekend. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our 5 year anniversary and I was looking for something affordable, clean, historic, and not directly in the hustle and bustle of downtown but also close enough to walk. St Francis Inn checked ALL of my boxes! We stayed in the Dummett room, the room and the inn...See More
