Wander & Rest Tip

After reflecting on “American Stories” at the Lightner Museum, treat yourself to a visit at The Floridian for fresh, Southern-inspired fare or grab a quick, refreshing specialty coffee from The Kookaburra nearby. As you head back toward the Vilano area, Aunt Kate’s offers a perfect riverside setting for a sunset meal. Once you return to your Wander & Rest sanctuary, let the day’s journey settle by sinking into the heated saltwater pool or rejuvenating your muscles in the private infrared sauna for a peaceful evening of relaxation.
