In the heart of St. Augustine (the nation's oldest city), the Casa Monica Hotel is a majestic 1888 landmark. Restored in 1999, the Casa Monica Hotel blends a truly legendary past with contemporary pleasures and welcomes guests into a setting of regal beauty and inspired service. The Casa Monica is the only AAA Four Diamond hotel in the city and is now celebrating 121 years in existence. Located in the Historic District, the Casa Monica Hotel offers easy access to a variety of attractions including art galleries, antique stores, museums, restaurants and shops, as well as The Fountain of Youth and Old St. Augustine Village. Guests will also have access to the Serenata Beach Club, championship golf courses and numerous other recreational activities.
Although the particulars of some events are still being developed as of this writing, the President's Reception will be held at the fabulous Lightner Museum where relics of America's Gilded Age are elegantly exhibited on the museum's three floors. Costumes, furnishings, mechanical musical instruments and other artifacts give you a glimpse into 19th century daily life. The Lightner collection includes beautiful examples of cut glass, Victorian art glass and the stained glass work of Louis Comfort Tiffany. Additional information about the Lightner Museum, often called "Smithsonian of the South," is available at http://www.lightnermuseum.org.
