Meet our newest (and fluffiest) residents! 🐣

Lately, our incubator has been buzzing with life, and we are thrilled to welcome four little ducklings to the 300 Clifton family. When those chilly May mornings rolled in, we brought the eggs safely inside to keep them warm and cozy—and the extra love paid off! The best part? We have a few more on the way very soon.

There is nothing quite like mornings here. When you stay with us, you can grab a warm cup of coffee, stroll through the English garden, and enjoy feeding the ducks and koi as the city wakes up.

Come stay with us and meet the new crew!

Behind every door is a lifetime of memories. For decades, a devoted servant lived right here at 300 Clifton, spending 45 years helping raise and care for the owner's daughter. It’s quiet dedication like hers that gives this home its soul.

Every wall has a story to tell. Once a sprawling hallway mural, this artwork was famously altered when Merrette took issue with its controversial details. Though much of it was changed, one original piece was carefully preserved and remains a fixture of 300 Clifton’s rich history.

Book your stay with us to discover the hidden layers of history and art waiting around every corner.

Beyond the grand architecture, the heart of 300 Clifton lies in the care of our ten unique guest rooms. For the twelfth chapter of our series, we’re looking at how we maintain the history and modern luxury of these spaces.

The Georgian Room is our most spacious suite, featuring a historical wardrobe by J.W. Davis—winner of the 1893 Columbian Expo furniture competition. Preserving such significant woodwork is a labor of love that ensures the mansion’s history stays vibrant.

The experience extends to the bathroom, where we balance classic and contemporary comfort. Whether we are polishing the antique clawfoot tub or testing the steam shower’s integrated music and water jets, every detail is refined for your stay.

From the electric fireplaces to the quiet sitting areas, we take pride in the daily rhythm of preparing these rooms for you.

Book your stay and experience the blend of history and rejuvenation firsthand.

Beyond the historic architecture and grand suites, 300 Clifton is home to a lively family that walks, swims, and waddles. For the eleventh chapter of our series, we’re looking at the daily care and connection we share with the animals who call this property home.

From the quiet grace of the koi in the garden to our cats finding the perfect sunbeam, there is a distinct rhythm to life here. You might catch a glimpse of the ducks making their morning rounds or receive a friendly greeting from Madonna, our Great Dane.

Each one adds a layer of warmth to the guest experience, ensuring every stay feels like visiting a home.

Come stay with us and meet the whole crew in person.

Preserving a historic landmark like 300 Clifton is a continuous labor of love that reaches into every corner of the estate—and that includes the living history found in our soil.

In the tenth installment of our behind-the-scenes series, we’re stepping outside to the vibrant sanctuary of our gardens. Keeping these grounds beautiful is a year-round commitment to timing and tradition, from the early spring bulbs that mirror the mansion’s 1906 revival to the manicured hedges that frame our hidden pathways. Whether it’s the meticulous care of our roses or the daily grooming of the lawn, maintaining this lush landscape ensures that the transition from the historic interior to the natural world is seamless. It is this dedication to our outdoor "rooms" that allows our guests to find a peaceful, timeless escape right in the heart of the city.

Come stay with us!
