The Spotlight on Marker 8 Hotel and Marina

Waterfront Comfort Just Minutes from St. Augustine’s Music Scene

Modern and serene, Marker 8 Hotel and Marina blends boutique style with a laid-back marina vibe, right by the Matanzas River. Just a 14-minute walk to downtown St. Augustine’s historic district and popular music venues, this 3-star hotel offers a picturesque base for music lovers looking to blend live shows with coastal charm. With city or river views from every room, a landscaped garden, and a riverfront terrace, it’s easy to unwind before or after a big show.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re close enough to walk to most of St. Augustine’s live music venues, including cozy bars and open-air stages downtown. After the encore, head back on foot or via a quick rideshare—no need to worry about parking or traffic. The 24-hour front desk makes late night arrivals simple, and the quiet riverfront setting offers a peaceful escape from the post-show buzz. Free parking is a bonus if you're road-tripping in.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a scenic base with space to chill after a show
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert in a historic town
  • Couples turning a concert night into a romantic weekend escape
  • Fans who want a calm, comfortable place to recharge after the music
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want style and views

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, a hearty American breakfast is served daily—ideal after a late night. The hotel’s location puts you within easy walking distance of downtown eateries, bars, and late-night bites. Several nearby spots serve food well into the evening, and coffee makers in every room mean you can kickstart your morning at your own pace.

Nightlife Options

Though Marker 8 doesn’t host live music on-site, it’s a quick stroll across the Bridge of Lions to a range of bars, pubs, and music venues that keep things going after the concert’s done. Prefer something low-key? Sip a drink on the hotel’s terrace with river views and watch the lights reflect off the water.

What People Say

Guests rave about the scenic views, quiet atmosphere, and walkable location. Many highlight how close it is to downtown without being in the middle of the crowds. The friendly staff, free parking, and clean, comfortable rooms also earn consistent praise.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no restaurant or bar on-site, so food and drink require a short walk or delivery—but given the hotel’s location, that’s rarely a hassle. Some guests mention the WiFi can be spotty at times, especially in rooms with river views.

The Bottom Line

Marker 8 Hotel and Marina is a peaceful, well-located retreat that gives concert-goers the best of both worlds—easy access to the music and a relaxing escape afterward.

Amazing views in a sweet...

Liked: The room was very spacious and clean, and the view could NOT be beat! We loved sitting out on our balcony just admiring it. The pool area was nice to cool off for awhile. The included breakfast was delicious and served quickly. The highlight of breakfast, though, was the sweet lady who was the server for the entire room. She had the best, warmest attitude! I sure do wish I had caught her name, but I have a funny feeling anyone who works or has been there knows who I am referring to!
Disliked: The air conditioning was VERY COLD. Which was great when we got there, but in the middle of the night trying to turn it down after waking up freezing was hard lol...then, once we figured how to set it, it cuts off every time it hits the established temperature. Which is fine except it is loud, and we love the fan hum for white noise but that didn't seem to be an option here...so we stayed colder than we would've liked to keep it on longer. First world problems indeed, but , hey...it asked "what didn't you like" so I am nit-picking here!
