In the heart of Mendocino village is the elegantly European Whitegate Inn. This pristine, white Victorian structure, built in 1883, was home to the first physician in town. Today, the Inn illustrates the beauty of texture, color, and design. Grace and refinement appears to be the hallmark, and is evident in fabric selection and decorative accessories, from the artwork to the double mantled fireplace and the bouquets of fresh flowers. An environment has been created conveying a sense of European yesteryear, yet unassuming and appealing to everyone.
Color is important here.
A palette of peach, hunter green, and burgundy is artistically reinterpreted in each of the rooms. Six professionally decorated bed chambers reflect an emphasis on the timeless beauty of fabulous French and Victorian antiques, careful attention to detail and an inviting sense of tranquillity. Guests may choose from King or Queen beds with down quilts and classic designer linens accented by vintage collectibles. All rooms provide ocean or garden views. A lavish full breakfast which changes daily is served in the dining room on sterling silver, china and linen.
