Sitting on a tree-lined block of tidy, century-old townhouses in Bedford-Stuyvesant, this graceful B&B is tucked into a regal Italianate mansion built by a local beer baron back in the 1860s. Period design flourishes include marble fireplaces, chandeliers, carved headboards and a screened-in, wrap-around porch – the perfect spot to settle in with a good book. An ample Southern breakfast adds a winning flourish.
The mansion has four roomy suites, each with private bathroom (three of which have Jacuzzi tubs for two). They're elegant and high-ceilinged throughout, with African textiles and vintage photographs adding a personal touch.
