"Snowbird Yankees first flocked to the Winter Colony's warmth in 1900, and over a century later the Gilded Age lives on in "a beautiful, historic, and very personal hotel." Fully restored and "elegantly maintained," 22 rooms have ornamental fireplaces, four-poster beds, hand-stitched pillows, and marble baths. On nights with a rare frost, the "eager staff" hands out cashmere-covered hot water bottles. Interiors beyond the grand, white columns "reflect the town't equestrian heritage" which still includes steeple chasing, harness racing, dressage, and fox hunting. The Pheasant Room serves Southern dinners and for those dug-in on local links or polo grounds, the Food Truck delivers provisions."
