It was once an antique shop, crusty around the edges. Now it is a 34-room showcase of modern textiles, marble and stone, of clean lines, leather sofas, flat screen Tvs, Keurig beverage stations floor-to-ceiling pebble-walled fireplaces, and luxurious rock-floored showers.
Oh, and the beds are divinely comfortable without being fussily pretentious: you can’t sleep on self-serving fashion. Each evening, there’s wine for sale in the bar, and each morning, a delicious spread of fresh breads, muffins, cereal and fruits is presented in the light-filled lounge.
