Ogé House Inn on the River Walk

Frommer's Review

One of the most glorious of the mansions that grace the King William district, this 1857 Greek revival-style property is more of a boutique inn than a bed-and-breakfast. You'll still get the personalized attention you would expect from a host home, but it's combined here with the luxury of a sophisticated small hotel. All rooms are impeccably decorated in high Victorian style, yet feature modern conveniences such as small refrigerators; many rooms also have fireplaces and views of the manicured, pecan-shaded grounds, and one looks out on the river from its own balcony. The units downstairs aren't as light as those on the upper two floors, but they're less expensive and offer private entrances.

A bountiful gourmet breakfast is served on individual white-clothed tables set with the finest crystal and china. Travelers can also bury themselves in daily newspapers laid out on the bureau just beyond the dining room. In late 2004, the Nobles acquired the inn and added such modern touches as Wi-Fi throughout and high-speed Internet access in the rooms, and they are in the process of freshening and upgrading the place.
