Built in 1884, this stately townhouse has been elegantly furnished in a modern spirit, with generous public areas and a wisteria-draped walled garden. Among its five spacious rooms, top choices are La Leavers, with its claw-footed Victorian bathtub, and Guipure, with a private sauna; family room Chantilly sleeps four. Rooms are on the 1st and 2nd floors (no lift).
