As you alight the grand staircase, please note its carved elegance as well as the original artwork of Susan Chafee, a local artist. The elements in the hallway are a collection of antiques from China’s Silk Road. The collection includes an 18th century Thangka from the Dalai Lama’s Da Er Monastery, a hand blown Turkish mirror, as well as an original silk-print of a young woman of the Miao people of Hunan province. Also note the original carvings that are a true expression of flamboyant Victorian artistry. It is a mere introduction to the essay of elegance you will encounter in the suites…

The King James is our patriarch of suites and is truly fit for a king or queen. Surround yourself in luxury in what was once the grand ballroom. You can almost hear the music, as this is a most harmoniously appointed suite. This historic bedroom has a private entrance and majestic queen size four-poster bed. The large bathroom completes your comfort with imported Italian marble floors, a special double Jacuzzi and a stall shower. The original hand-hewn floors, early 20th century artwork, carved wooden accents, along with a gorgeous fireplace give this suite a warm earthiness.
