The Hampton Terrace has been an inn since 1937 and offers stunning interior and architectural detailing which includes a three story suspended staircase. The entry hall and main downstairs rooms feature colors inspired by the Pavilion at Brighton Beach, England. Rich yellows, greens, blues and reds are accented by elaborate moldings and trims, many highlighted with bronze and gold. The downstairs is filled with period antiques, Orientals and old photographs from six generations of the owners' families. The entrance hall showcases a beautiful fireplace and mantel the first of seven in the home. Eight rare crystal sconces adorn the living room, which also features a family heirloom, a 1929 Steinway "L" Grand Piano, a period Victrola, a 1940s carousel horse, and a massive burl wood armoire. Soft music floating in the air is the only sign that this 19th century home exists in a modern era. The living room leads to a side porch that is comfortably furnished and conducive to an early morning perusal of the Berkshire Eagle, or a before dinner glass of wine. Guests have been known to spend entire days on the porch reading books or just listening to the church bells ring. Every shop and restaurant in Lenox is less than a five minute walk from this porch, and it frequently serves as a respite after shopping, before dinner or after Tanglewood. The parlor is another room that inspires lounging. It contains an authentic 1930s red leather bar a family heirloom, a television hidden in an antique cabinet and several comfortable overstuffed chairs. The bar is fully stocked for BYOB wine, highball and martini glasses, openers, shakers, ice, and a full, hot candlelit breakfast is served every morning.
