flagler college

非常有意思的学院,到处都是彩虹色艺术玻璃,但我们跟随着向导游览觉得挺失望的因为我们事实上看到的只有三间屋子,但是它们都令人惊叹

一定不容错过。观光一天两次,值得等待,可以亲眼看到庞塞德利昂酒店,它就那么静静地存在于属于它的地方。导游会向大家介绍这个酒店的前世今生。观光的费用每人62元。来参观之前最好买一本《过去与现在——圣奥古斯丁》

去过圣奥古斯汀很多次,但一直都时间去参观一下弗拉格勒学院。这次决定紧跟着几个想要去那里的朋友。参观是由学院的学生引导的,所以我们也可以得知一些关于学院和这个镇的比较有帮助有意思的信息。我们的向导对主建筑(之前是家奢华的宾馆)成为学院之前的历史也很了解,他很详细地讲述了建宾馆的人的有趣故事,那个老板使得佛罗里达成为富人和名人的度假胜地。这次旅行有一个小时,正好可以躲一下炎热的天气,参观的房间都让人印象深刻。真的很值。

我们早晨的时候来参观了这所学校,其实这所学校之前是deLeon酒店的。会有大学生来为你做导游,会为你介绍学校的外围,还有两个房间和门厅。这边的餐厅现在是做学校食堂使用,还有最初的一些装饰,另外还有蒂芙尼玻璃窗。这次旅行还深入介绍了弗拉格勒的历史背景。在这边花上几个小时还是挺值得的。

这里的建筑和历史都非常有趣,但这个旅游团很不划算。大部分时间都花在空旷的庭院里听导游侃侃而谈,好像我们还是大学生,而我们都不下50岁了。进去之后只看了三间房间,一间是公共大厅,第二间是非常棒的餐厅,还有些学生在吃早餐。第三间是女士梳妆间非常漂亮,可以看到所有东西——包括壁画,但时间不超过10分钟。真遗憾这里没有单独布置一两间样板房,让人见识一下最豪华的酒店房间是如何的。也许学生宿舍有安全问题,但只要花心思就能解决这个问题,这样也能让游客觉得更物有所值。

Our tour was more than wonderful. We were amazed by the architecture and beautiful paintings. Loved the college and hope to send my son here. Where else can you go to the restroom and see a beautiful fireplace in it. The whole college is beautiful. Love it.

Gorgeous place,great history! Every detail from floor to ceiling done to the nines. Well worth the tour. Would have loved to have seen it as a hotel. It would certainly be a great location for filming a movie

It's a rip off for a tour. They charge you $10.00 dollars per person and you are only taken to two rooms. I honestly thought we'd see and hear more. The last room "the ladies parlour" was very lovely and had some neat art and objects to look and read about, but our student tour guide was eager to hustle everyone out of the room. Save your money for another historical home or museum.

While I didn't care much for some of Mr. Flager's taste in architecture or decor, this building is something to see. The tour lasted about an hour and covered the lobby, enormous dining room still used by the students, and the "ladies" salon/lounge where single men were allowed only with an escort (it would not have been proper!). The Tiffany windows and chandeliers are a marvel of glass creations and shouldn't be missed!

This building was on top of my list while on my one and only trip to St Augustine during Valentine's Day weekend. This building is as and more beautiful inside, as it is from outside. We went for !0 AM tour on Sunday. Street parking was easy to find nearby (free on Sunday). Our tour started right on time at 10 AM. Our tour guide was one of the Seniors of Flagler College. She was great and covered the history and finer details very well. She was able to answer pretty much all the questions from the audience. Tour lasted around an hour, and it was fun. You can take as many pictures as you want, and with the kind of Spanish architecture that is rare to see in US, you would really want to. Highly recommended if you are in town.

The history of Saint Augustine is so rich, and Henry Flagler's influence is everywhere, but Flagler College is not one of the high points of our month-long stay in the city. Its architecture is interesting and well-preserved, and the photos of wealthy New Yorkers in the Flagler Hotel's heyday were interesting, but it's not worth more than about 10 minutes of your time.

I went on two tours of the college the month of February. On the first tour we were hosted by a senior history major. He was intelligent, witty, able to answer everyone's questions and make the place come alive. On the second tour we weren't quite so fortunate but still worth the time to see the beautiful building, gorgeous art and hear the history of the Flagler family and the college.

Flagler College is a great liberal arts college that began as an upscale hotel owned by Henry Flagler. The rich and famous one stayed here to enjoy America's oldest city. As a college the original hotel is maintained in the splendor of early days and used by the college as a student dining hall. The free tour through the college introduces you to the history of the college and the City of St. Augustine.

On a recent visit to St. Augustine we took the heritage tour of Flagler College. It was a very good tour. The young woman who served as our guide through the college was very good at what she does. The college was originally built by Henry Flagler as an expensive hotel. It contains the largest intact collection of Tiffany glass in the world (in the windows of the college dining hall and part of the tour). It gives great insight into the history of St. Augustine in the Guilded Age. I highly recommend it.

The dining hall is full of magnificent architecture. We were a little disappointed that we were not served the normal dining hall fare as our daughter was making a decision about attending. The buffet that was set up had a good variety. The chicken was particularly good but all of the vegetables were under cooked. It may have been due to trying to keep up with the large number of guests. Besides the views not impressed with the food.
