This
premium room is one of our more romantic Honeymoon Suites named after
the lookout basket suspended near the top of the mast on the old
sailing clippers once built here in Saint John. Redecorated in 2007
with rich gold accents the Crowsnest Hideaway offers the finest
Homeport has to offer. As the name implies this three room suite is
tucked away high in the house under the eaves and is a profusion of angles and corners creating a rambling and secluded retreat.
The
dominating feature of this room is a very impressive 1820's Sleigh Bed
with the original finish, now converted to accommodate a queen size
bed, this piece always creates a stir. There is a ''step back" chest of
drawers from the later Empire Revival period. We have also thought of
the business traveler with a large Empire Revival c1870 library work
table. This furniture style is increasingly more difficult to find
today and has not been widely copied over the years so it is nice to be
able to see and use the real thing.
The
unique ''L" shape sitting room with skylight has great views of the
city and harbour, a cozy TV area with DVD , a large work table and an efficiency
kitchen with fridge and sink. This room can easily
accommodate an extra person or couple on the pullout sofabed. The very
large, private bathroom has a double whirlpool tub under a skylight and
a separate full size standup shower. And what bath room would be
complete without a few Persian rugs over the roman tile floor. Come
experience a unique and special place with a night or two in the FIVE
STAR Crowsnest Suite.
