The hotel lobby features a dramatic tufted, round conversation settee to relax on and a cozy seating area with several couches. Rooms in the main lobby building (the Historic Hatt Building) are upstairs and reached by elevator. They feature white-rock-maple flooring that was shipped around the horn in 1885 by Captain Hatt for his wife's skating rink. Some rooms have exposed brick walls, fireplaces, and bathrooms with stand-alone slipper tubs, and there are rumors of a ghost in room 207.
