Every great story has a beginning...
The historic 1895 timber wood frame barn was originally home to a carriage and wagon shoppe that we’ve dubbed The Capitol Carriage. In 1904, it evolved into a Livery & Feed Store offering fine horses for hire along with stabling provided for rent. Various grocery and retail stores occupied the site until 1984 when it was then transformed into an award winning, luxury boutique hotel.
We have taken up the baton and proudly offer the newly renovated and re-imagined Governor’s Inn. Seamlessly blending the old and the new, the original barn is now a perfect marriage of the untouched timber and brick and the new steel and glass. The interiors wrap the guests in comfort and luxury, inviting exploration and the discovery of Florida’s past political history. Walls are arrayed with whimsical portraits of former governors distinctively framed paying homage to their service to the State of Florida.
HDI was engaged by the owner, TMFB, to create a high-end design combined with its own rustic history that would inspire guests’ conversations and connections with others.
Eclectic use of custom carpets, artisan furniture, Italian bed linens and a spa-like guest bathroom set the perfect environment for a relaxing stay but our ‘Best in City’ bar and balcony just might have you mingling with the Tallahassee elites.
