The original circa-1928 hotel, designed by famed architect Addison Mizner, was the dream of automobile magnate Howard Coffin. The upscale resort quickly attracted a steady and stellar roster of guests. In 2006, a spectacular new structure replaced the old, honoring Mizner’s first design. After entering the porte cochere, you step into the breathtaking three-story Colonial Lounge that serves as the grand lobby. Sumptuous suites occupy two arcaded levels, illuminated by sunlight spilling through clerestory windows, while the ground floor is arranged into several cozy seating areas. French doors lead to the terrace, where you’re privy to amazing views of the river beyond.
