For a more intimate hotel experience, book a room at The Savoy, a European-style bed-and-breakfast known for elegance and luxury since its 1888 opening. Careful preservation has protected some of the hotel’s original decorative features including imported marble and tile, brass fixtures, and art nouveau–style stained glass.

Choose from a Victorian room, Victorian suite, or deluxe Victorian suite, all of which include a complimentary gourmet breakfast. The well-appointed rooms include claw-footed bathtubs, sitting areas, and pieces of the hotel’s original furniture.

You can dine at the adjacent Savoy Grill, an upscale restaurant and steakhouse that echoes The Savoy Hotel’s historic grandeur.
