The lobby manages to be both magnificent and comfortable, telling the story of what the experience can be like staying at this AAA Five Diamond/Mobil Five Star Hotel. There are comfortable seating areas throughout, and each evening a table is laden with fresh baked cookies and coffee, tea and cider by the elevators.
The Hermitage was built in 1910 in the ornamental Beaux-Arts style. In 2003 the hotel was renovated, maintaining its original grand style but expanding the rooms and suites. The Hermitage is a member of the National Register of Historic Places and Historic Hotels of America.
