Frommer's described the inn as "Amped-Up Sensuality." Discerning Traveler named it Romantic Hideaway of The Year. A picture begins to emerge. Is it the choices on the pillow menu or exotic bath bar soap collection? Maybe it's the over-the-top luxury guest quarters with their whirlpools, steam baths, fireplaces, King beds and fine linens. Or is it breakfast in bed and the private any time tea for two? You will enjoy pampering as an artform. For most, romance and rejuvenation naturally follow course.
