Gather

The Douglas is the perfect backdrop for intimate gatherings, private dinners, and small celebrations. Reach out to our events team for details and bespoke planning.

Celebrations

A wedding here is closer to a house party than a production. What the house offers is the rooms it already has — the parlor, the bar, the hall with the staircase in it. Which room takes the ceremony, which takes the drinks and which sits down to dinner is a conversation we have with you, not a floor plan we print.

Twenty-two rooms across the house and the building beside it, so the people who matter most stay where the party was and come down to breakfast in the morning. Adults only, 21 and up, throughout the house.

Tell us the date and we will tell you honestly what the house can do with it.

Private Dinners

One table, one kitchen. The food comes from Culinary Director Jacques Larson, a two-time James Beard nominee, and it is the same kitchen that cooks breakfast to order every morning and runs Lester's next door.

There is no set menu on this page and no per-head figure, because neither is written until we know the date, the number and what you actually like to eat. That conversation is the first thing that happens.

Take the Whole House

Twenty-two rooms and one front desk. A group can take a floor — the second and third floors are five rooms each, reached by stairs or elevator. A group can also take the lot, and then the parlor, the bar and the hall belong to your weekend rather than to whoever happened to book.

Nobody in the hall you did not invite. Adults only, 21 and up. Rates move with the season, the weekend and the holiday, so we would rather quote you than guess in public.

The Bar, After Hours

The Bar is reserved for guests of The Douglas and open 2pm to 10pm daily, and most nights of the year that is exactly who is standing in it: dark panelling, a bottle wall, a fire lit, seven house cocktails and five zero-proof ones at the same price, because the work is the same.

An evening with the room to yourselves is the exception rather than the offer. Ask, and the answer will depend on the date and on who else is staying.

Guests-only hours and the cocktail list are published. A private evening in The Bar is not a published policy — treat it as a request, not a booking.

Our Spaces

What the house has is a handful of rooms that already work as rooms: a parlor people sit in, a bar people stand at, a hall with a staircase in it, and a courtyard the upstairs windows look down on.

We do not print square footage, because the honest answer is that you should walk through it.

  • The Parlor, arched windows and deep chairs

    The Parlor

    The house's living room. Complimentary coffee and tea all day, canapés from four to seven, and a chair by the window.

  • The entry hall, white panelled staircase and carved newel post

    The Entry Hall

    The staircase, the newel post, and the room a party finds on its own.
