Originally built in 1875, this grand hotel has been restored to its Victorian grandeur,
from crystal chandeliers to a sky-lit indoor pool. The rooms aren’t the largest in
town, but mahogany furniture and 14-foot-high ceilings make up for what they lack
in space. Be sure to enjoy afternoon tea at the Garden Court restaurant, a historic
landmark, which has a beautiful domed stained-glass ceiling; or for an upscale
Japanese dinner, make a reservation at Kyo-ya, where ambiance is
more modern, but service is equally refined.
