"Gifford House Inn has hosted four presidents and housed an experimental theater company where Al Pacino once performed. The property was recently renovated by its new owner and now welcomes 21-and-over guests in 33 completely refurbished guest rooms with beautiful views over the town and harbor. The hotel is known as a cultural and entertainment hotspot with facilities including its iconic basement nightclub, Purgatory; a Porch Bar with seating that spills onto the wraparound veranda; a lobby lounge; and a new multi-purpose performance and events space that hosts theater productions, classes, and workshops." - Travel + Leisure Editors
