This hotel is a restored mansion built in 1909 for Alfred Vanderbilt's mistress. Such a funny origin for a beautiful inn! Our suite was beautiful, with 15 foot ceilings and lots of amenities. There is tea in the dining room, which was a marvelous experience. Fireplaces, beautiful furnishings, lots of places to sit and relax in the common areas. The fitness room is fine for a small hotel. The staff are exemplary, from our concierge who arranged reservations and made recommendations on things to do to our charming server at tea, to the desk staff and valet. Thank you!
