Built in 1910 by the grandson of Ulysses S. Grant, this hotel has been visited by such historic figures as Charles Lindbergh and FDR. Steeped in the ambiance of years gone by, the crystal chandeliers and polished marble pillars gleaming in the lobby are worth a look whether or not you stay here. Queen Anne mahogany furniture graces the over-sized, formally decorated rooms. Comforts such as plush terry robes and in-room movies provide touches of home. Suites offer even more luxuries like cozy fireplaces and private whirlpool tubs.
