COMFY & GORGEOUS

Every chamber at The ARTISAN Downtown is a singular treasure, beckoning you to exhale amid silken sheets, pillow-top dreams, mosaic-tiled baths, tailored fabrics, intimate reading nooks, plus indulgences like in-room brewers, hush hubs, and private climate control this very night.

CONTACTLESS CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT

Our contactless check-in and check-out (think vacation rental with an access code) offers guests unparalleled privacy, and since we don’t have a front desk, there’s no waiting in line or losing your keycard.  There is no public entrance, but the bar is open to the public beginning at 5 PM Monday-Saturday.

OUR ROOMS

We offer sixteen rooms, each as lovely and individual as the last. The Artisan was built in 1926 and has many original features; a grand winding staircase with a large chandelier, large stained glass windows, high ceilings, decorative moulding and wood floors. Inside each suite, it has been enhanced with every modern convenience you would expect, you will still see evidence of the historic charm.


We are right in the heart of downtown and our bar and rooftop patio are open to the public, so guests can expect some background noise of Deland city life.

“Since childhood, I believed each corner—hallway, porch, or stair—hold a story waiting to be whispered, told, or dreamed.”

Locally Run & Authentically Boutique

When you rest in a boutique suite or sip a cocktail in the lounge, you support a hometown business and spark the renaissance of our Southern enclave.

The Lounge serves handcrafted cocktails

The Lounge at The Historic ARTISAN Downtown Hotel is DeLand’s secret stage for craft-cocktail reverie. Velvet banquettes hug mahogany tables beneath twinkling Edison bulbs and crimson drapes—a plush alcove for whispered conversations and nightly live music. Slip through French doors to Margarito’s rooftop terrace, where warm Florida breezes brush candlelit tables and the courthouse clock keeps tempo with the jazz below. Browse our rare-bourbon shelves, savor boutique tequilas, or let a sommelier-curated wine list guide your evening. Each cocktail, rooted in local legend or literary lore, arrives with small-town charm, while select brews and rich espressos complete the encore.
