Every room here is furnished uniquely and nearly theatrically with
antiques and dramatic linens. Both Oscar Wilde and PT Barnum once stayed here and
probably would again today if they were still living. The downtown location can't be
beat.

Bathroom aficionados will find heaven at this luxurious B&B. The tub and shower are in
a giant room that leads to a terrace overlooking a leafy garden. The bedrooms are equally
generous with plush, high beds and a modern -meets-antique decor. Irish owner Elizabeth
O'Carroll grew up with a pub-owning family and brings lively, joyous energy from the
Emerald Isle to her home in a posh, waterside residential area.
