The Space:
The property is a 100+ year old funeral home reimagined into a boutique "apart-hotel" consisting of 13x apts (8x studio apts, 4x 1 BR apts, and 1x 2 BR / 2 BA apt) with paid on site parking, a heated 9 month pool, a secluded courtyard, with exquisitely designed common areas featuring commercial-grade wifi, internet-connected locks and security cameras covering the outdoor common areas and both hotel entrances. Every apartment features tall (10-12 ft) ceilings, a kitchenette, and an in-unit washer/dryer.
This listing features our entire second floor, consisting of the Decadence (South half of the 2nd floor of the hotel) and Valhalla (North half of the 2nd floor of the hotel) Wings. The Decadence Wing consists of 3x apartments. The Valhalla Wing consists of 4x apartments. Each Wing's apartments face each other in a common atrium. The two atriums are interconnected via a passageway with a 100+-year-old casket elevator adjacent to a sitting area in the central atrium.
Valhalla Wing - Apts 8, 9, 10, 11 (Thought, Memory, Ivy, Nocturnus) - this Wing consists of 2x studio apts and 2x 1 BR apts whose entrances face each other in a common atrium. This Wing is our most ethereal part of the Raven, featuring Scandinavian design, coupled with high, raftered ceilings and original industrial-style windows. Thought and Memory each have sleeper sofas in the common areas as well. Nocturnus may be our most stunning bathroom in the property, with wraparound windows with an amazing view of the rising mid and high-rise apartments at our neighbor, Pearl Square. Ivy is also a guest favorite, with dark green and brown hues. This is named after the ivy found growing through a broken (since repaired) window into this apartment when we purchased the building zzin 2021.
Decadence Wing - Apts 12, 13, 14 (Nephthys, O Fortuna, LaVilla) - this Wing consists of 2x studio apts and 1x 2R / 2 BA apt whose entrances face each other in a common atrium. This Wing is our most vibrant, elegant, and lively part of the Raven, featuring brash gold and deep black hues in LaVilla, original tilework in Nephythys (and cats!), and O Fortuna, and elegant, high-end design throughout all 3 apts. O Fortuna is also our "honeymoon suite" with a stunning bathroom in the primary bedroom featuring dual showerheads and a lavish king-sized bed.
The outdoor area is curated with a heated outdoor pool, a courtyard, and on-site paid parking. The outdoor pool area features chaise lounges, umbrellas, and tables with chairs - perfect for enjoying a snack while taking a dip.
The courtyard features an outdoor kitchen with a natural-gas-powered grill, a refrigerator, and a food preparation area. It also features a natural-gas-powered firepit.
The paid parking lot has room for fourteen cars, including one ADA-accessible space. We have a motorized gate at the entrance to the parking area. Please note each lane into / out of the parking lot is 10 ft wide. Oversized trucks, vans, and motor homes will not be able to enter/exit the parking lot because of this width restriction.
Paid parking in our gated parking area is available on a first come / first served basis. As a result, we recommend making a parking reservation as soon as possible in order to guarantee a spot for the duration of your stay. A guest's first car costs $15/day. A guest's second car costs $30 / day. If a guest brings a third car, it costs $45 / day. We are not able to accommodate more than three cars for any reservation / single apartment.
We provide a unique 4 digit code which opens the gate to the parking area, the door to your apartment, and the Beaver St door (secondary entrance - the primary entrance is from the parking lot). We provide all guests with a common code which opens the "Raven Gate" (accessible from the parking area) and the "Blue Door" (the entrance to the building's 1st floor atrium).
We have separate codes for our pedestrian gate which opens onto Beaver St from the parking lot and the gates to the courtyard and pool deck.
Guest Access:
Guests have access to their apartments, all interior common areas, and the pool area from sunrise to sunset. We feature internet-connected smart locks at every common door and for the gates in the courtyard / pool area for added security. We have a team member on site during high occupancy periods and have a team-member stop by every night to ensure the property is secure.
The Neighborhood:
This beautiful property is located in the up and coming LaVilla neighborhood within downtown Jacksonville. At the turn of the 20th century this area was a thriving mecca for African American jazz musicians, on par with New Orleans and Harlem. Famous 20th century musicians such as Ray Charles (who lived less than a quarter of a mile southwest of the property on Church St), Ma Rainey, the “mother of the blues,” often performed in LaVilla, as did “Jelly Roll” Morton, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, and many others! The city of Jacksonville is building out a "LaVilla Heritage Trail" with signs all over the area (including on the southwest corner of our off street parking lot) bringing to life the area's storied history.
Nearby neighborhoods include historic Springfield (a few blocks to the north), Brooklyn (a mile to the southwest), historic San Marco (2-3 miles to the south - over the Main St bridge), and historic Riverside/5 Points (less than 2 miles to the southwest). All of these areas teem with local restaurants, boutiques, and bars. The core area of downtown Jacksonville and the stadium district are 1-2 miles to the east and walkable during stadium events to include Jacksonville Jaguars games, the Gator Bowl, the Florida-Georgia football game as well as concerts at Daily's Place.
The Prime Osborn convention center is a mile to the southwest of the property.
Getting Around:
While you can walk around downtown Jacksonville on foot, it is best to have a car or use a ride-sharing app (such as Uber or Lyft) to go from the less densely populated portion of downtown - LaVilla - to the other parts of downtown.
Interaction with Guests:
We have a team member on site during high occupancy period and our office is a few blocks to the north in Springfield. If you need something during the week (9am - 4pm; Mon-Fri) we can typically have someone assist you in an hour or two. Most weekends we will have someone on site during out standard check-in/check-out periods to assist, if needed.
We do have a team members who stops by the property overnight to ensure that the common areas are secure.
