Praise
Each room comes with a personalized butler for a genuine touch of old-time hospitality, and the bathrooms in particular play on the theme of excess with stretches of Carrera marble, local Deep Steep bath products, and oversize vanities.
Guide Michelin, May 2024We love a good dose of Southern charm. This just-opened spot has it in spades... Opt for a suite with its own balcony, and order an icy gin cocktail from your butler - Southern charm personified.

timeless glamour with a modern twist
Every room and suite channels 1920s style with bespoke details and thoughtful amenities.
