Coming to St. Augustine Nights of Lights with a bigger family or group? Homewood Suites by Hilton St. Augustine San Sebastian is one hotel to have on your radar—especially if you need more space than a traditional hotel room. We stayed in a suite that slept six, giving us plenty of room to spread out, and the hotel sits right along the San Sebastian River with beautiful marina and water views. You’ll also get free hot breakfast, which is such a nice perk when you’re traveling with a family and getting ready for a full day exploring St. Augustine. One important thing to know for the 2026 Nights of Lights season: the King Street Bridge over the San Sebastian River is currently closed for construction. There are other ways to walk into the Historic District, and on select busy Nights of Lights weekends, St. Augustine offers free Park & Ride shuttles. Last year, one of the Park & Ride locations was practically kitty-corner from this hotel, which made getting into the heart of the lights incredibly convenient. Before your trip, download the Nights of Lights app for updated Park & Ride locations and other helpful information for navigating St. Augustine during the celebration. And here’s another reason to check your dates: TikTok is currently offering 50% cashback on eligible first-time hotel bookings. Click the green location pin, check availability for Homewood Suites San Sebastian, and compare your booking options. Cashback is credited after you complete your eligible stay.
