About this property

HEART OF DOWNTOWN Palafox Place Sleeps 6, Perfect for small events

This classic building in the very heart of historic downtown was built in 1885 and was once home to a family owned music store with a dance hall upstairs. If the exposed brick walls, wood floors, and high ceilings could talk, oh what stories they would tell.

Four french doors lead onto the 40 ft. balcony overlooking PALAFOX Street, Pensacola‘s most famous street so named for 19th century General Jose de Palafox of Spain.

Walk out the front entrance and you’re on Palafox Place, the very heart of downtown’s vibrant entertainment, shopping & dining district.

Walk to over 40 restaurants from your doorstep. Here are just a few that you can walk to in just 5 minutes: World-class dining at Jackson’s, Global Grill, The District, Iron, Carmen’s, & Angelena’s. For a more casual fare try the Wine Bar on Palafox, Jaco’s, Urban Swinery, Seville Quarter, Graffiti Pizza, Taco Agave, O’Riley’s Irish Pub, Kohn’s Sushi, Union Public House, Dog House Deli & much more. For breakfast try Parlor Doughnuts, Dog House Deli, Fosko Coffee Bar, Blue Jay Bakery, Bodacious or the Ruby Slipper. Your sweet tooth can be satisfied by just walking downstairs to PeterBrooke Chocolatier located on the first floor of your building.

The location speaks for itself, but in addition, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well prepped, the decor was gorgeous, and everything was very clean. We were worried the street noise might make it difficult to sleep, but the walls are well insulated and we slept great!
