Hotel Henrietta is the sister hotel to the very classic, historical mansion of the nearby Columns Hotel.

In a way, Hotel Henrietta is the Skipper to Column’s Reconstruction Barbie, if Skipper ended up studying at the Bauhaus.

It’s a gorgeous yet unique addition to the set of Mansions lining Charles Avenue, which you can admire daily from the rounded arches of your balcony.
