What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
the intimate Douglas contains 16 rooms, each with its own personality. Although the hotel may seem like a gallery with beautiful artwork throughout, the tastefully appointed former residence is anything but fussy.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Live oaks shade handsome mansions along Oglethorpe Avenue, placing leafy historic squares and riverside dining within an easy walk.
The rooms
Individually styled chambers feature muted palettes, Louis Philippe dressers, and plush velvet seating, opening to marble-lined bathrooms with deep tubs.
At the table
Lester's serves coastal seafood and French bistro plates, and an intimate zinc bar pours cocktails for hotel guests.
How it began
Built as an 1853 mansion, the townhouse served as a gentlemen's club and a Girl Scouts annex before its modern revival.
