Check datesWho we are
Hip Historic Hospitality
We're a small team who live and work in Jacksonville, a few minutes from your door. Hip Historic has welcomed guests to San Marco since 2015, and we still answer every message ourselves, usually within the hour. We kept the original hardwood and 1940s details, and renovated the rest in 2025 so long stays feel like home.
Ask us where to get biscuits on the Square, how long the walk to Baptist really takes, or which spot on the river has the best sunset.
