Tucked away in the vibrant heart of DeLand, FL, lies the ARTISAN Downtown, an enchanting hotel that is not merely a place to rest but a portal to an era brimming with splendor. As you step across the threshold, you are whisked away to a bygone age where the elegance of Spanish colonial design dances gracefully with the finesse of modern luxury, all within the walls of our lovingly restored edifice that whispers tales of a century past.
This historic inn has been our favorite for the last four years. The front desk staff is so kind! When we pulled up while checking in late, there was one spot left but it had orange cones in front of it. My hubby ran in and was told they did that for US so weâd have a good parking spot!! The new owner lives in Florida and it shows!! Chicas has been remodeled with a cool new bar and second dining room and Emilio, the bar manager over at the classy, chic cocktail lounge is a master at drink creation and quickly can be considered a friend! The most important part of your stay, your sleep, is enhanced by the most comfortable mattresses Iâve experienced in a hotel. Theyâve thought of everything to make you feel at home: thereâs a make up mirror, make up remover wipes, Starbucks Keurig coffee and hot cocoa, wine glasses, and decorative touches everywhere!
