A cobblestone drive leads to this elegant, historic hotel that oozes old-world charm. Resembling an English home, the property sits atop a hill in an eclectic neighborhood in the Uptown district and overlooks the city. The vintage look of the lobby carries on into spacious guest rooms with antique décor; a rooftop garden tops it off. A formal restaurant offers fine dining; an English pub serves lighter fare. On-site shops include a florist, luxury car wash, and massage therapist.
