Description
Circa 1890. Blooming Garden is an apt name for this bed & breakfast celebrating its 16th year in business, as the inn is surrounded by colorful gardens. The exterior is dotted with a bright mix of perennials and annuals. The inn is located in the Holloway Historic District in downtown Durham. Each guest room is artfully appointed with a different, colorful theme. For instance, the Tiffany Room is accentuated with stained-glass pieces. The Moroccan Room is dressed in dramatic hues of dark green, gold and red. Each room offers a special bed, as well. Most impressive is the mid-19th-century carved Rosewood bed in the Morning Glory Suite. The inn's luxury suites include a double Jacuzzi tub. Homemade ginger waffles topped with a creamy lemon curd are among the specialties served for breakfast. For guests planning an extended stay in the area, the innkeepers offer accommodations in Holly House, a nicely furnished, restored Victorian home. The home includes a suite and three guest rooms, common areas, access to a kitchen, phone, washer and dryer. Although the beds are topped with goose down pillows, the innkeepers are sensitive to those with allergies and can accommodate guests' needs.
This property has been featured in Southern Living, Travel & Leisure, National Geographic, Travel Magazine, Mobil Guide Book, Fodor's "Best Inns of the South", Golden Leaf Awards for Community Appearance (2006 Award of Merit for Landscaping and Maintenance). Location: City/Urban.
