In recent years this elegant white hotel, built in 1884 as a private home, has been the scene of TV ads, movies, and plenty of weddings. The interior scenes of Louis Malle's Pretty Baby were filmed here. The Colonial Revival hotel has a popular bar and a grand veranda for sipping cocktails; there's live music some nights and during Sunday brunch. The grand rooms of the first floor are open to the public; note the stained-glass skylight topping the mahogany stairwell.
