The Bar/Lounge at The Talbott Hotel

"Guest rooms are well stocked with amenities, such as complimentary wireless Internet, laptop safes, honor bars and iHome audio systems for guests' iPods"

"Today, the independently owned boutique hotel embraces its history, and welcomes guests with its English country home decor (complete with quite a few framed, serious dog portraits) and leathery fireside lounges"

"A pair of cozy fireplace lounges fitted with wainscoting, damask walls, bugle-base lamps, hunt lithographs and sumptuous Chesterfield sofas flank the entrance"

"Among the most noticeable new details is a large design-forward lounge outfitted with dark, masculine features and back-set concierge, giving a ritzy living room feel"
