Small, intimate, and luxurious best describe this boutique hotel, which occupies a historic downtown building built in 1915. All of its guest rooms have king-size beds that invite slumber with their Italian Frette linens, plush duvets, and down pillows. Some rooms have a claw-foot whirlpool tub nestled away in a corner, 12-foot ceilings, and good views of Main Street. Custom-designed mahogany furniture helps give the entire hotel a rich, inviting look. Sample the New American cuisine dished up in Café Ashton, or, if you’re with a small group of up to 20, book the Wine Cellar for private dining. Work off the calories in the small fitness center.
