Lily Barfield, an antiques dealer and founder of Lily's Vintage Finds, is bringing a new nine bedroom inn and cocktail bar housed in a neoclassical mansion in Montrose, according to a June 28 news release.
What's special about it?
The Marlene is an inn nestled within the Avondale Historic District spanning 18,000 square feet in a three-story mansion, which dates back to the early 1900s, featuring multiple living and dining areas, and a tree-canopied patio for gathering.
The Marlene offers nine individually designed guest rooms, each with private baths and named after a woman who has shaped Barfield's life, with Marlene paying homage to her late grandmother. Throughout the inn, guests will find antiques and artwork hand-selected by Barfield on sourcing trips to France.
