Pensacola Grand Hotel

Remember when travelling was a luxury and people were proud to be a part of the experience? Do you recall an era when ladies wore pillbox hats and men wore ties en route to their destinations? The Pensacola Crowne Plaza Grand is a beautiful reminder of those times, spiced with the modern conveniences today’s traveler demands. The entrance building is the original train depot, and as many structural touches as possible have been preserved. There is ample meeting spaces in the original depot, with a restaurant, library/reading area and lounge complete with baby grand piano. This is a full service property offering bell service, a pool, fitness center, and food & beverage services. The rooms are typical of the Crowne Plaza brand, clean and of a good size. Be sure to eat at the restaurant: the food is delicious and reasonably priced, and the service is stellar! The hotel is located at the junction of 110 and Gregory, so access to downtown, the beaches, or the Naval air station is easy. Guests should be aware that the train still runs behind the hotel, so light sleepers should ask for rooms at the front of the hotel, or bring ear plugs.
