Is there a concierge?

Our front desk and concierge are here for anything you need, anytime — from last-minute dinner bookings to a bottle of bubbles waiting in your room.

Reservations & Cancellation

What is your cancellation policy?

We understand travel plans sometimes change unexpectedly, and we appreciate your understanding as a small, independently operated property. Each reservation plays an important role in how we plan and staff our team, allowing us to provide a high level of service to all guests.

To confirm your stay, a non-refundable deposit equal to one night’s stay will be charged seven (7) days prior to arrival. Once this deposit has been processed, reservations become non-refundable and cannot be canceled or modified.

How do I modify my reservation?

Just get in touch with us directly by phone or email. We’re happy to help adjust dates or details.

Whenever we can, absolutely. Early arrivals and late departures are based on availability. Please reach out to our front desk in advance — or whisper it at check-in, we love a good secret request.

Is there a mini bar in the room?

Do you offer room service?

We don’t offer traditional room service. The Douglas is designed more like a private residence than a conventional hotel — so instead, you’ll find inviting common areas, The Bar, and our stocked floor pantries for a quick grab-and-go. Need a late-night bite? We’re happy to recommend our favorite local spots that deliver.

Can I have a spa treatment in my room?

We’ve partnered with a trusted local mobile spa to offer a selection of in-room treatments, available by appointment and tailored entirely to you. Services are available in the privacy of your room and are conducted by licensed professionals who bring everything needed to create a serene, spa-like experience without leaving the comfort of your room.

Massages are available in a range of styles, from heated stone to prenatal, from sports recovery to classic relaxation. We recommend reserving your treatment at least 72 hours in advance, though same-day bookings may be available depending on schedule. Pricing varies by duration and treatment type. Put on a robe, stay in the room. We’ll handle the rest.

Is there an elevator?

The second and third floors are accessible by stairs or elevator.

Room Four is on the ground floor. It is our ADA-accessible room, filled with light; its soft palette and coastal ease give the space a breezy and welcoming feel.

Dining

When is breakfast served?

Complimentary gourmet breakfast is one of the signature experiences at The Douglas. Included with every stay, from 7 am to 11 am each morning, served à la carte.

Can anyone use The Bar?

Reserved exclusively for The Douglas guests, The Bar is open daily from 2 pm to 10 pm, offering a thoughtfully curated selection of cocktails, wine, beer, and spirit-free offerings. We invite you to settle in and stop by for an afternoon pick-me-up, a pre-dinner drink, or a quiet nightcap.

What are the evening canapés?

Each evening from 4 pm to 7 pm, guests are invited to the Parlor for a complimentary canapé station, a rotating selection of charcuterie, cheeses, and house-baked goods. It’s a simple pleasure, best enjoyed with a drink in hand from The Bar. No need to dress up (though you certainly can). Just stop by, settle in, and let the evening unfold.

How do I get a table at Lester’s?

Your stay includes more than just a room. Enjoy exclusive reservation access to Lester’s, our signature dining experience — guests of The Douglas can secure a table through the front desk. Tell them when you’d like to eat and they will arrange it.

Can you accommodate dietary requests?

Tell us before you arrive and we will take it to the kitchen. Breakfast is cooked to order à la carte rather than laid out as a buffet, so the earlier we know, the more we can do. Call the front desk on (912) 236-1484 or write to info@thedouglas.com.
