Up at the hotel, red and gold rooms are swaddled in gilded-age charm—see the regal inlaid mahogany armoires lining the walls, the detailed parquet floors, and the Tiffany glass pieces perched above doorways. But the place isn’t a total relic; modern amenities, like marble bathrooms with two-person whirlpool tubs, and minifridges stocked with complimentary beverages, bring the place up to speed.
This is the grandest house in the neighborhood, and if you're lucky enough to go, ask to see the rooftop cupola for a rare view of the city in all directions — most locals haven’t had the chance. Both the on-site, circa-1886 restaurant and the inn itself win accolades year after year.
In the colder months, the staff draws the velvet drapes and lights the gas fireplaces of the baronial, high-ceilinged guest rooms. Italian linens and down pillows add to the opulence.
It's a testament to some serious preservation and restoration that stepping onto the property feels akin to stepping back in time. Intricate dark wood paneling, Tiffany-style stained glass, and period furniture that might feel stuffy in another building feel perfectly proportioned and at home in the Wentworth Mansion's large, airy rooms.
