The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three heated freshwater pools sit tucked into brick-paved garden courtyards bordered by hanging orchids and palms.
Restaurant
Café Marquesa
This intimate 50-seat dining room serves coastal Southern cuisine and fresh local seafood under hand-painted trompe l'œil murals.
Wide porches overlook lush gardens and a bijou pool at the center of the complex, and brick paths…give the 1884 Greek Revival–style property a secret hideaway feel.
At the table
Guests gather for drinks at the dark wood bar before settling into candlelit tables on the patio.
How it began
Operating as a boarding house in 1884, the Greek Revival landmark was meticulously restored and converted into a boutique hotel in 1988.
