Tonight, the Billy Joel songbook comes to downtown DeLand. 🎹

Turnstiles takes the stage at the historic Athens Theatre. Make an evening of it: dinner on Woodland Boulevard, the show just down the street, and a short, unhurried walk home with no driving and no parking. Raise a glass to the night, then let a beautiful room finish the story.

Call the front desk to stay the night: (386) 873-4675.

Some buildings are simply old. Others are storied. 🏛️

Nearly a century ago, the arches on Woodland Boulevard began welcoming travelers to downtown DeLand. They have greeted winter visitors, young families, proud Stetson parents and weary road-trippers ever since. The building holds a place on the City of DeLand's Register of Historic Places, and it wears that honor with comfort: soft beds, warm wood floors, and a front desk that knows the neighborhood.

History preserved. Comfort perfected. Come stay in a piece of downtown.

Some rooms you sleep in. Some rooms you remember. 🗝️

Step through the arches on Woodland Boulevard and the story begins. Nearly a century of guests have passed through this building, and the hardwood floors still hold the echo of every one of them. Tall windows. A bed made for sinking into after a long day. A room with the kind of character no chain hotel could copy.

Just outside your door is one of the most famous main streets in the country. Small local shops to wander. A dinner to linger over, with authentic Cuban food right here in the same building. And when the evening calls, The Lounge is downstairs: a martini bar and tapas lounge with live music, where a good night in downtown DeLand is already waiting.

Stay where the story is. Your room is ready. So is downtown.

October is National Arts & Humanities Month, and our front door opens onto the heart of it. 🎭

From the Artisan, DeLand's Arts, Culture and Entertainment District is yours to walk. Galleries and boutiques along Woodland Boulevard. An evening at the historic Athens Theatre. A dinner that turns into a long conversation, with Cuban food right here in our own building.

When the sun goes down, The Lounge is downstairs with live music Wednesday through Sunday. That is a Saturday in downtown DeLand, on one of the most famous main streets in the country.

See you downtown.

The Historic ARTISAN Downtown Hotel was built for travelers. Visitors from the North came down the line to winter in DeLand, and this building on Woodland Boulevard gave them a warm place to land.

A century later, the travelers are still coming, and tonight they get a soundtrack. 🎶

JW Gilmore has spent more than 20 years on the harmonica. As he tells it, his road runs from Baton Rouge to Fort Lauderdale, and along the way he has picked up Showmanship awards at the Florida Harmonica Championships. He plays traditional blues in the Muddy Waters and Little Walter tradition, solo tonight, live from 6 to 10 PM.

Blues has always been traveling music, and this hotel was built for people on the move. Tonight those two stories share a room: a cocktail lounge inside a building on DeLand's Register of Historic Places, a harp, and a seat with your name on it.

No cover. Order from the Black Book of handcrafted cocktails, settle in, and stay for the last song.

See you at The Lounge.

Some buildings collect guests. This one collects stories. 🥃

The Historic ARTISAN Downtown Hotel has spent about a century welcoming travelers to Woodland Boulevard, and this weekend the evening gets a new stop: our NEW Diamond Crest Ci**rs Humidor, a wall of premium ci**rs for anyone who likes to slow a Saturday down.

Here is how tonight can go. Start at The Lounge Tapas & Martinis, where the bourbon list gives you every reason to settle in. Then head up to Margarito's Rooftop Bar, open 6 to 10 PM, with downtown DeLand glowing below.

And when the night runs long, your room is already waiting upstairs.
