Inn at Cook Street

Fodor's Review:

In winter 2006, this attractive East End inn just off Bradford Street was sold to a developer who planned to convert it into condos, but Connecticut transplants Lisa Feistel and Doreen Birdsell quickly stepped in, snapped it up, and turned it back into a terrific place to stay. The enthusiastic innkeepers have done an admirable job decorating the 1836 Greek revival where author Michael Cunningham penned Home at the End of the World one winter. The sophisticated rooms have high-thread-count linens, flat-screen TVs, and well-placed reading lights; two have decks, three have fireplaces, and three have private entrances. Continental breakfast includes organic cappuccino, herbal teas, fruit and breads, and a hot entrée such as pancakes or omelets. Guests can relax in a hammock out back amid the fragrant gardens or walk a block to the galleries along Commercial Street. Pros: Top-notch staff and service, steps from East End shopping and dining, elegant yet unfussy furnishings. Cons: Rooms close to Bradford Street can get a bit of noise, a bit of a walk from West End businesses, no water views.
