What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
behind the walls of this treasured 19th-century Victorian mansion is a hotel that’s caught between two worlds: the tranquil seclusion of a resort and the convivial bustle of a private members’ club.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set across from Forsyth Park, the estate places you within an easy stroll of moss-hung live oaks, Victorian architecture, and historic squares.
The rooms
Interiors pair dusty peach tones and rattan wardrobes with art-deco curves, while select suites open onto private furnished terraces.
The pool and studio
Bring a swimsuit.
The 25-meter outdoor pool features submerged lounging ledges, while an airy studio holds daily Pilates and movement sessions.
The spa
Subterranean treatment rooms offer CODAGE Paris facials and cupping, leading to a quiet lounge with contoured timber chaises.
Dogs stay too.
Bar Bibi
Set along the courtyard terrace, this open-air bar pours spritzes and bakes pizzettas beside a floor-to-ceiling mural.
The hotel’s design aesthetic is a study in contrasts, which Left Lane’s chief brand officer, Jess Berkin, and her team liken to a ‘riot clash’.
Restaurant
Saint Bibiana
Blue-paneled rooms and an arched liquor bar set the scene for handmade mushroom torchiette and coastal Italian classics.
At the table
Lobby lounge The Green Room serves morning espresso, afternoon tea, and evening cicchetti along a fluted counter.
How it began
Built in 1888 as a Victorian Romanesque estate, the redbrick mansion served as a family home and funeral parlor before its hospitality revival.
