What's The Deal This grand 1907 dowager is a member of Historic Hotels of America, and the lobby is like a movie set, filled with columns, chandeliers, marble, and overstuffed furniture. Standard guest rooms are comfortable, with high ceilings and bay windows that make for a great work area. There's a heated pool and hot tub on the rooftop.
