Rosemount Inn

Top choice in Kingston


Enjoy a decadent stay at this former dry-goods merchant's home in a historic district. Built in 1850, the massive stone, Tuscan-style villa has been magnificently preserved in its 19th-century finery from the arched entrance to the ceiling roses. A small spa offers wine-based facials and chocolate body wraps, and rates include full breakfast and afternoon tea loaded with homemade goodies.
