A nice weekend getaway.
It is now owned by an ex-president and I wouldn't go back there now that I know =)
This majestic house belonged to Barbara Hutton Woolworth. It was built over a period of six years, ending on 1959, after an intense quest for a place with excellent climate, magnetism, and historic roots.
Sumiya means “Place of Peace, Tranquility, and Long Life”, notions that describe the environment that prevails in this palace to perfection. The symbol of the hotel is a Lotus Flower with three converging swords that represent wisdom and love.
The building is Oriental style, with pagodas and characteristic forms where dark brown mahogany wood, granite-tiled roofs that preserve the temperature inside, and paths that take you to traditional Japanese gardens.
