Fashioned from a landmark Italianate brick structure set at waters-edge in Westport?s fetching historic district 60 minutes from New York city, national hall has been sumptuously restored into an intimate and gracious mansion-style hotel of the highest caliber. Exquisite stenciling, wall murals, cherry molding and fanciful tromp embellish the home-like salons and artful elevator, designed to resemble a cozy gentlemen's library. Attention to detail carries through the 16 individualized guest quarters, featuring king beds, ritzy baths and all with river and village views. A fine restaurant is situated on the premises and nearby lies a wealth of appealing boutiques, antique stores and art galleries.
