Stay with Us, in Historic Downtown Pensacola
The rooms at New World Landing are named for a variety of figures from Pensacola’s illustrious past.
Controlled at different periods by French, Spanish, British and American governments, the Pensacola area is rich in lasting international influences and has been home to many of America’s historical events.
Outfitted with antique and period pieces, the rooms hearken back to the days when our fledgling nation was first being formed. They are designed to transport you to a time and place that is rooted firmly in the past while enjoying the modern benefits of our vibrant city.
We invite you to read the following historical notes outlining the figures for which our rooms are named. These people and the events they took part in shaped our local as well as national history. You will see evidence of their deeds and legacies in the names of our streets, historical monuments, and idyllic city parks in the areas surrounding New World Inn.
