An Elegant Escape in Jacksonville: St. Johns Town Center
In Jacksonville, Florida, there's one place that has it all in a single stroll: St. Johns Town Center. This open-air shopping center brings together restaurants, well-known brands and places to stay just steps away, making it perfect whether you live here or you're visiting.
Where to eat and take a break
If you're looking for a restaurant for a special occasion, Fogo de Chão is an experience in itself: a Brazilian steakhouse that turns any meal into a celebration. For something lighter and healthier, True Food Kitchen is a great choice. And for a coffee and a breather between shops, Light on the Sugar is a café full of charm.
Shopping in style
Here you'll find everything from the essentials to the most exclusive. There's the Apple store, the sparkle of Swarovski, the watches of Breitling and Sunglass Hut, a true standout in Jacksonville for its wide range of brands and for staying ahead of the curve with the latest Meta smart glasses. From luxury designs to sports frames and everyday favorites, there’s a pair for every moment, all in the most refined corner of the Town Center.
Where to stay
If you're traveling, there are several hotels nearby to stay close to it all, such as the AC Hotel by Marriott, Hyatt Place, Tru by Hilton, Holiday Inn Express & Suites and Home2 Suites by Hilton.
Holiday season
With the December holidays just around the corner, the center turns into a full-blown tourist destination. And what's coming this season holds more than one surprise.
In my work as a lifestyle journalist, I'm always on top of what's happening in the city: there are openings, experiences and details that only those who know where to look ever discover. And you'll find all of that right here. Whether you're traveling to Florida or live in Jacksonville, St. Johns Town Center could be your choice.
Where: 4663 River City Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246.
