Old Powder House Inn - A historic 3-star bed & breakfast with gourmet dining in St. Augustine's landmark district

Located in the Historic District near the 1600s Castillo de San Marcos, this St. Augustine hotel occupies a turn-of-the-century Victorian property managed by innkeepers John and Cadie. The Old Powder House Inn features nine individually decorated rooms with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries. Each morning, guests enjoy a three-course gourmet breakfast served in two dining rooms with tables for two. A small wet bar outside select rooms provides a coffee machine, mini-fridge, and complimentary sherry. The property includes a garden, sprawling verandas, and a front porch with bench swing. Old Powder House Inn sits within 0.5 miles of Colonial Quarter and popular restaurants like The Floridian and Collage, while St. George Street's pedestrian blocks are 0.5 miles away.
