Additionally, Camel’s Back Park is just a short walk away, providing ample opportunities for hiking or simply enjoying the outdoors.

The hotel itself blends comfort with character. Each room features thoughtfully curated furnishings that reflect the building’s historic roots while offering modern conveniences for today’s traveler. The communal spaces encourage interaction among guests, creating a friendly environment that often leads to shared experiences and new friendships.
