iron staircase and a new hand-painted ceiling
fresco—offers the feeling of stepping into the home of
an old family friend. Downstairs, it leads to the main hall
with a loggia, terrace and gardens beyond, acting as a
lobby and gathering space. The living room, furnished
with Chesterfield sofas; oval book-lined library with
overstuffed chairs and a game table; solarium with
original floors; and dining room and breakfast room still
have their initial functions while showcasing a new look.
Exclusively dedicated to hotel guests and occupying
the old bedrooms from the original house, the second
floor comprises the Edgar Perry Suite, inspired by travel
and culture, and the Lutie Perry Suite, adorned with
pink velvet, faux fur and muted leopard carpet.
Across from the mansion, the new three-story inn with
a central courtyard was designed by Moule & Polyzoides
with guest rooms decorated by Fulk and featuring
custom millwork built-ins, rounded plaster archways
and Italianate and Spanish Revival antiques, among
other elements. The historic two-story Carriage House,
meanwhile, was transformed by Clayton Korte into a
fitness center on the main floor with Auberge offices (the
company that manages the estate) on the second floor.
