714 - El Balcon

About

Start your morning outside with a cup of coffee as the neighborhood begins to stir, spend a slow afternoon enjoying the warm Florida air, or step outside after dark to take in the night sky.

El Balcón combines Old World charm with the comforts travelers want for a relaxing Gulf Coast getaway. From your balcony, enjoy views toward the estate’s heated saltwater pool and spa, creating a peaceful setting that feels tucked away while still being close to the energy of Downtown Pensacola.

Inside, double French doors connect the room to the balcony and allow natural light and seasonal Gulf Coast breezes to become part of the experience. The apartment has been thoughtfully arranged to preserve the charm and romance of this historic Pensacola estate while giving guests their own comfortable place to retreat.

For added convenience, El Balcón includes a private bathroom, coffee station, and microwave. The water throughout The Old Spanish Consulate is filtered and softened, another small touch intended to make your stay more comfortable.

Stay Somewhere with a Story

A visit to El Balcón is more than simply finding a place to sleep in Pensacola. It is an opportunity to experience the atmosphere of The Old Spanish Consulate, a landmark historic estate on East La Rua Street.

Spend your morning exploring Downtown Pensacola, discover the architecture and tree-lined streets of the surrounding historic neighborhoods, enjoy local restaurants, museums, festivals, and nightlife, or make the drive to the white-sand beaches and emerald waters of Pensacola Beach. Then return to the estate for an evening beside the pool and spa before retiring to your private balcony.
Whether you're searching for a historic BnB in Pensacola, a romantic Pensacola getaway, a vacation rental near Downtown Pensacola, or a unique place to stay with a private balcony and pool, El Balcón offers something a conventional hotel room simply cannot—the opportunity to become part of the story.

Come for Pensacola. Stay for the history. Remember the balcony.
