Fodor's Review:

As its name implies, the hotel was built in 1829, albeit as the private residence of a prominent merchant named Alaxander Lavalette. The building's coral-color façade is accented with fancy wrought-iron railings, and the interior is paneled in dark wood, which makes it feel delightfully cool. From the terrace there's an exquisite view of the harbor framed by brilliant orange bougainvillea. You can combine a visit to this hotel with a walking tour of Haagensen House, Villa Notman, and the lookout tower at Blackbeard's Castle just behind the hotel.
