West Room

The West Room has a lovely view over the Formal Gardens, the lake, and the Adirondack Mountains. It is furnished with a queen bed and has a private bathroom with shower only. When the Webb children were young, their nurse slept in the West Room. Its location provided easy access to her charges, as her room adjoined both the Rose Room (Frederica’s bedroom), and the Brown Room (a nursery and then Vanderbilt’s bedroom). As the Webb children grew, the West Room became Frederica’s sitting room, then her first husband Ralph Pulitzer’s bedroom, then a bedroom for their two sons. It can be reserved with the Rose Room to form a two-bedroom suite.
