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.

Worst experience in a scamming,...

Liked: Walked into a room and had to kill a roach. Went for ice and got black and brown grossness in the Ice bucket on the ice. Called front desk and asked them to let me call them back with their suggestion for resolution. They asked.me what I wanted them to do about it, joked about the bugs being normal. I went down to the front to ask what they were going to do to resolve it and they said they were making.me leave.
