Fodor's Expert Review The Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel and Spa

Celebrities, sports stars, a president, and a king have all stayed at this grand hotel that dates to 1852. The lobby's blend of ornate arches; domed ceiling windows; and red, white, and blue furniture signal patriotic elegance. The 10,000-square-foot spa hosts a full salon, eight treatment rooms, and a fire pit in the calming Quiet Room. On-site services include a barber shop–hair salon, shoeshine stand, and valet dry cleaning. Three restaurants—one formal, one casual, one trendy—are on the premises.
