Your dream weekend at the Desmond begins with dinner for two at the exquisite Scrimshaw Restaurant and ends in a King Canopy Suite.

With its abundant collection of Scrimshaw, ship models, and paintings of sailing ships, Scrimshaw Restaurant evokes the grandeur of a sea captain's home.  Fine crystal, elegant flatware, crisp linen and fresh-cut flowers all help set the stage for a memorable evening.

Even more compelling, however, is Scrimshaw's award-winning cuisine.  Scrimshaw Restaurant has been the recipient of the Wine Spectator Award for Excellence every year since 1997.

Afterwards, splash around in one of the Desmond's two indoor heated pools, relax in a Jacuzzi or bake in a sauna.  In the billiards room, you can play on the very same table that Paul Newman once played.

Your room at the Desmond envelops you in elegance and comfort.  Furnishings include imported English wool carpets, oriental rugs, finely detailed china, original oil paintings, four-poster canopy beds and Colonial furniture created exclusively for the Desmond.  Handcrafted woodwork, candelabras, and expansive fireplaces all contribute to an ambiance of privacy and quiet.
