Baltimore, Maryland, October 24, 2008 (PressReleasePoint)
Gramercy Mansion, a historic bed and breakfast and conference center just north of Baltimore in Stevenson, Maryland, has expanded its accommodations once again. An exquisite new guest suite will be unveiled November 1, 2008.
The elegance of the past meets the luxury of modern amenities with the stunning “Cassatt Suite,” named for the original owners of Gramercy Mansion. Alexander Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, arranged to have the mansion built as a wedding gift for his daughter Eliza. Alexander Cassatt was also brother to Mary Cassatt, a well-known Impressionist painter, and supported her artistic endeavors by purchasing many of her early paintings, some of which were displayed at Gramercy. The name of the new suite was selected from a list of more than 150 submissions by Gramercy guests and newsletter subscribers during a recent contest. Two guests suggested the name that was finally chosen by the owners and staff and will be among the first to stay in the Cassatt Suite, receiving complimentary accommodations for their winning submissions.
A European Renaissance retreat in blue and gold, the Cassatt Suite, located on the private lower level is Gramercy Mansion’s most magnificent guest room yet. The suite features damask fabric-draped walls, a four poster king bed with canopy, and a spectacular yellow and gold marble bath with heated floors, double whirlpool tub, separate two person shower, double vanity sinks and 24-carat gold swan fixtures. The sitting room with day bed and marble-mantled fireplace opens through French doors to a private terrace with decorative brick walls and a water feature celebrating “mind,” “body” and “spirit.” Lit with three breathtaking chandeliers of alabaster, 24-carat gilded gold and hand-painted glass, the Cassatt Suite is a must-see during your next stay at Gramercy.
Gramercy Mansion was originally built in 1902 and has been owned and operated by the Pomykala family since 1985. The bed and breakfast now offers eleven guest rooms with private baths. The first floor of the mansion and the Carriage House, located just across the front gardens, are available to rent for weddings, parties and seminars.
