  ntiquarians and connoisseurs of American history alike have slim pickings when it comes to lodging in historically significant dwellings when vacationing. Up and coming cultural moguls desire a place to play and work while appreciating the finer things in life. There are those historical aficionados that often ponder what it would be like to sleep in the old furnishings of an historic house (without the straw mattress of course). With NYC’s penchant for sleek modernism, the pickings are slim.
Fortunately Lafayette House, the latest Nolita boutique hotel with a B&B feel (without the breakfast), has opened to eager guests desiring the old world charm and prestige of early Americana with the modern conveniences of Flat-screen LCD televisions, iPod docks and DVD players. Each room is outfitted with a working fireplace, antique furniture and décor and 500 thread count linens that scream luxury and class. Needless to say, at their peak, the Vanderbilts wouldn’t have any issues accommodating their out of town guests with these lovely accommodations.
To truly aspire to a lifestyle in the lap of luxury, pour a bath for the misses with a glass of the very best vintage tub-side, and don the requisite silken bachelor robe (think Masterpiece Theatre) yourself with a generous measure of Brandy in one hand to enjoy the mesmerizing fire.
