Fodor's Expert Review The American Hotel

Victorian elegance defines this hotel dating from 1846, a three-story brick-facade house with a white-pillared porch that looks out onto Main Street. Each guest room has turn-of-the-20th-century antiques and spacious bathrooms with whirpool baths. An on-site restaurant and bar inhabit four intimate, antiques-filled rooms, including a front room with a Steinway piano (and a pianist Wednesday through Sunday in July and August) and a bar room that attracts a sophisticated crowd.
