ACCOMMODATIONS

Guest rooms at The Willcox are comfortable retreats luxuriously appointed. All are quiet and sumptuous with high ceilings, crown moldings, and restful, cloud-soft beds blanketed in cool, crisp linen. Most have crackling fireplaces, and each has its own character. The marble and white tile bathrooms hold deep-soaking tubs, stacks of thick towels and plush robes to cosset and comfort — just a few of the many lavishes that landed The Willcox on Travel + Leisure and Conde Nast

Traveler magazines’ exclusive lists of the world’s best hotels. Whatever the room, when you are ready to retire, it will have been straightened, your bed turned down, a cashmere hot water bottle tucked under the sheets, if you wish, and a small, sweet gift placed on your pillow.
