Best Bed & Breakfast

B&Bs are more intimate and infinitely more interesting than your average hotel. The Gaslight Inn is so charming that you’ll tell your out-of-town guests they can stay at your house, while you move into the Gaslight. Accommodations vary from the single Martin Room with private bath and queen size bed to the opulent Saint Charles Suite, with fireplace, wet bar, whirlpool bath and screened veranda. Prices run from $95-$175. less...

It might just be another gorgeous house in Midtown, but the Shellmont Inn is more than that. It is a souvenir from the roaring ’90s, an era at the end of the 19th century that was permeated with the inescapable British empire and the increasingly confident swagger of American prosperity. The Shellmont has that solidly luxurious feel to it: wicker on the veranda, chocolates at bedtime, beautiful beveled glass doors and windows and Tiffany lamps with colored beads and panels. You don’t have to be from out of town to stay there. Any visit is a trip out of time. Rates start at $100 per room. less...
