The DeLand Hotel

Unique and historic hotel. I love the antique decor and the staff/ owner were very friendly. No need to leave the hotel for meals as the hotel has a quaint restaurant, with various cuisine options and offers indoor/ outdoor dining. The chef is friendly and talented. He adds west coast flare to classic meals. The Captain Crunch french toast and patty melt were 2 favorites. He even helped jump my battery after I left my lights on! Easily, the best upcoming hotel in Deland.

Great antique type room super in house bar a d resturant

Hotel is very nice and clean and staff very friendly. Sadly they do not have AC in the second floor. I spend the worse night of my life. Temperature must be in the 80's in my room. It is sad, because the hotel is super nice, very old, but well maintained. The fact they did not lower the AC after we requested twice (owner refused) made this stay very uncomfortable. I'm not staying there again just because of that.

Loved this quaint hotel and felt i had been dropped into a movie set! Will definitely be back.

Had a great time. The Hotel is so cool back in the 1920's.
The bar is fully stocked and the bar tenders are well knowledged and the restaurant has great food.

We booked a stay at The DeLand Hotel for the night of July 4, 2025, via Expedia, expecting a relaxing experience. Unfortunately, it was anything but.

When we arrived just before 6 PM, we were shocked to find signs on the doors stating the hotel was closed until July 5th. No prior notice was given. After calling the hotel directly, someone was sent to unlock the doors and let us in. We later learned we were the only guests—the hotel had accidentally left the booking system open.

That night, we endured:

No working A/C (central system was turned off).

Ongoing overnight construction on the floor above—likely to repair water damage—causing noise throughout the night.

Fire doors left open for workers, raising safety concerns, especially as we had our child with us.

No access to amenities: the on-site bar and restaurant were closed, and the complimentary wine offer was void.

No staff on-site at checkout the next morning—no way to voice concerns directly.

Expedia tried to mediate with the hotel, but the management refused any compensation. We paid for a full-service experience and received the bare minimum, under unacceptable conditions. This experience ruined our night and left us exhausted and frustrated.

I would avoid this hotel. This was not a one-off inconvenience; it was a clear display of mismanagement, neglect, and disregard for guests’ comfort and safety. If this is how they operate behind closed doors (literally), I would never trust them with another stay.

Beautiful old timey hotel! Friendly staff and unique esthetics. Great restaurant downstairs, and a fun 20s themes bar next too it (both in tbe building). I wouldn't recommend it if you love to see your hotel room whote shiney ans disinfected. It has a different charm, perfect if you want to enjoy something unique and a bit different

The hotel does have character and it is clean and well-maintained. People have commented on the bar: we're not really drinkers, but the personable bartender quickly offered my wife a "mocktail" which was tasty and, after a long day of driving I was happy to accede to one of the complimentary cold glasses of beer(or wine) available to hotel guests. And the dishes we ordered for dinner were exceptional

wonderful staff, restaurant, bar, room location. It's the total package.

Very accommodating and loved the atmosphere. Had great food and bar service! Beautiful property! Highly recommended

Cute little “inn” style hotel. Staff and the owner are super nice and accommodating. Since it is smaller, I was worried at first it might be hard to reach people if I needed something, but that’s not the case at all! They were happy to give me extra towels when I asked and answered any questions I had and were there to help when I checked in later in the evening. Room was clean, parking is easy. It’s an old historic building with hardwood floors and the decor to match the style, which I love! Great location, can walk to the downtown area. I do wish they had fridges in the rooms, but there is a community one that has a little bit of space for you to put drinks in or small leftover boxes. Love it, my second time staying there and will do so again!

A wonderful historic hotel close to downtown Deland and Stetson! It also has a great restaurant and bar. A great find.

Second time at the place. Love it so much

I’ve stayed here a number of times and always enjoy myself. Nice people, good food and the location is great.

This was a great, kept up old hotel. As long as you don’t love modern,you will love this hotel.

Bathrooms are old style as well. Claw tub with a shower curtain…
Bar was beautiful!

Loved the attentiveness of everyone working there. Such a clean and comfortable space and much needed change from "box hotels". The restaurant was fantastic and very reasonably priced

A gem!

Convenient to a wedding we attended.
Needs an update/reno
Bar staff was great. Front desk staff brusque and unhelpful

Friendly staff and close to the small and charming downtown. However, the mattress had more slope than horizontal features, the shower was angled in such away that when the hot water arrived a few minutes later, it helped your neck. The linen and towels need a refresh, or better soap. No daily service for towels or room cleaning.

I enjoyed the old feel of the hotel, tge wood floor and how well maintained everything seemed to be.
