Room
The Capitol Hill Mansion has eight rooms spread out over three floors, for a mixture of five standard rooms and three suites. One first-floor room is wheelchair accessible. Rooms feature furnishings that callback to Victorian elegance as well as rich colors and fabrics popular to that time. Every room is appointed with fresh flowers, in-room refrigerators, high-speed wireless internet, and air conditioning. Certain rooms also have balconies and fireplaces.
Tip The Shooting Star room, located in the mansion’s turret, is a favorite among honeymooners because of its private balcony and floral motif.
