Flagler College (Hotel Ponce de Leon)

Flagler College

A Spanish Revival luxury hotel built in 1888 by railroad tycoon Henry Flagler, now part of a college. Its Tiffany stained-glass windows are breathtaking.

The building was designed by Carrère and Hastings and is one of the earliest large poured-concrete buildings in the United States. The dining room has 79 colored-glass windows designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, and the domed rotunda is richly decorated with murals. It is now the campus of Flagler College. The interior can only be seen on a student-led history tour (about 1 hour, ticketed). Access is limited during the school term, so booking online in advance is recommended.
