ABOVE: The Leighton Suite is one of The
Gallery's most luxurious rooms. INSET BELOW: A typical bathroom.
Guest rooms
The Gallery has 34 double, twin, and triple rooms.
I stayed in Room 302, a "double king" overlooking Queensberry
Place. The room was comfortable, with good light through large windows that
could be opened for ventilation. The room was heated by radiators, and a
portable air conditioner (a wheeled device with a hose that connected to a
circular port in one window) was on hand for use in the summer months.
The king-sized bed faced a desk with a panel that opened to
reveal coffee- and tea-making equipment and teacups with saucers. An upholstered
chair would have been handy for reading, but the desk chair was comfortable
enough.
 My
bathroom (see inset photo) was attractively decorated with mahogany paneling,
marble tile, and antique brass fittings in the sink and bathtub/shower. In
keeping with The Gallery's 19th Century theme, the toilet had a varnished wooden
seat.
Suites
If you're honeymooning, or if you'd simply like to splurge, you
might want to consider the Leighton Suite (shown at top of page) or the
Rossetti Suite (see
photo). Both "master suites" have roof terraces, Jacuzzi tubs, and CD/DVD
players with classical CDs available from the reception desk.
