flagler's st. augustine, part 4 of 5

The last Victorian destination is the Hotel Alcazar. Now home to some very interesting galleries and antique shops. I believe it is also presently home to the local city hall and, my favorite, the Lightner Museum.

The center courtyard.

The lobby, now of the Lightner Museum

These rooms contained the spa and gym.

The Ballroom is particularly remarkable as there are working sky lights and the dance floor surrounds the pool two stories below where gondoliers would row about with the musicians. Quite a sight to behold, I'm sure. Now the pool floor, at the deep end, is home to a nice cafe.
