The Addison on Amelia is a tranquil 14-room boutique inn seamlessly blending the elegance of a bygone era with the modern amenities and conveniences the discriminating traveler expects. The inn is comprised of three antebellum style houses built around the perimeter of the property to enclose an enchanting courtyard. The meticulously restored main building was originally built for merchant Frank Simmons in 1876, while the other two homes were built in 1996 to compliment the architectural details of the main house. Private, semi-private and public porches overlooking Ash Street or our soothing fountain courtyard provide guests with a place to enjoy a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, al fresco dining or simply relaxing amid the oasis of calm.
Each room has premium bedding with deluxe linens and luxurious, modern baths, many with jetted tubs big enough for two. Slipping into our 600 thread count cotton sheets is a decadent pleasure matched only by the lavish Turkish cotton towels in your bath. The Addison provides spa quality, environmentally sensitive amenities for an elegant accompaniment to your bath or shower. In addition, each room is equipped with two cozy robes, a hair dryer, color TV, both DSL and WiFi high speed internet and a clock radio. Many have VCR's and DVD players, irons and ironing boards, and CD players. Rooms 6 through 15 have individual climate control systems. Orlando Magazine describes The Addison
