The Excelsior House
Housing travelers since the 1850's, this hotel is a tourist destination in itself. Its classical brick and timber facade has welcomed people such as Ulysses S. Grant and Oscar Wilde. Every one of its 15 historic rooms is uniquely decorated with rich antique wood furnishings and traditional design. Even if you decide not to stay here, you should check out the old-fashioned ballroom with its large French chandeliers and Oriental rugs as well as the manicured grounds of the property.
