  • Inn Details

    For over a century this lovely Victorian Inn has received visitors to St. Augustine. Local maps and early records show that the inn was built between 1865 and 1885 and was advertised as a private guest house as early as 1886. By 1911 the property was known as the Kenwood Hotel. The inn has maintained the charm and character of 100 years of tradition while now providing a casual elegant style to enjoy. Located within the Historic District between the Oldest House and the famous Castillo de San Marcos, The Kenwood Inn is within walking distance of many fine restaurants and all historic sites. It is one block from the Intracoastal Waterway with its passing fishing trawlers, yachts at anchor and the classic Bridge of Lions. Across the bridge by car or bicycle are miles of beautiful ocean beaches. The Inn's spacious accommodations include rooms with double, queen and king sized pillow-topped beds. Many rooms also include pullout queen size sofas. The Inn has central heat and air, and all rooms have private baths. Bicycles are available to tour the city. The walled-in courtyard is the perfect place to sit and relax after a long day of exploring the old city. The swimming pool is adjacent to the courtyard through the gate and is very refreshing on those hot and humid summer days.

    I have stayed at the Kenwood Inn twice and enjoyed each visit. On our second visit we checked in on Christmas eve (2011). Pat welcomed us back like we were family visiting for the holiday. The inn is beautiful and we loved our room. The breakfast on Christmas day was wonderful. We are planning a couples getaway soon with friends and the Kenwood Inn is where we will stay. If you want a friendly and warm atmosphere, go visit Pat and her family, and enjoy your stay.

    This will be the only place I stay when returning to St. Augustine. I felt like I was in the lap of luxury the enire time. Pat is such a wonderful, warm, inviting host. The inn is absolutely beautiful! The room decor was elegant and the bedding was superb. The gormet breadfasts were truly "gormet". I have stayed at over 30 B &B's and this one is now my favorite. Plus the location is the best. You never have to use your car. I have been to St. Augustine many, many times and every time I find something new to explore.

    This was my second visit to the Kenwood Inn, my mother was married there in November (and they did an outstanding job!!!) and we returned to spend a weekend. Pat and her staff are wonderful! They make you feel like family, the rooms are gorgeous, the location is perfect for enjoying the sites and the food...delicious! I've stayed a numerous B&B's both in the US and abroad and the Kenwood has been my best experience by far. I would highly recommend it!!!!

    What a wonderful B&B and Brixton the dog is a bonus. This house is beautiful and Pat is a wonderful hostess. I have to add that the coffee is wonderful!!! It's close to everything so no need to drive to the shops. I highly recommend The Kenwood Inn. The rooms are gorgeous and I absolutely loved the bed - A+ to Pat and her staff Joanne
