French wallpaper, tasseled lampshades, and marble mantels are just some of the details that make
Gryphon House (9 Bay State Rd., 617/375-9003, www.gryphonhouseboston.com, $189–365) a favorite place for returning visitors. A Victorian townhouse tucked into the back of Kenmore Square, the hotel has eight rooms, each with a different personality, including the sunny garden room and neo-Gothic sanctuary.
