The Ogé House(Oh-jhay), built in 1857, is today one of the crown jewels of San Antonio's King William Historical District ... the first and oldest historically designated neighborhood in Texas. Now restored to its original classic elegance, the home is open for the first time in its history, welcoming guests as a Bed & Breakfast Inn.
Elegantly decorated with period antiques, each of the five guest suites and five guest rooms has its own new private bath with wonderfully scented soaps and thick, fluffy towels. Most rooms have fireplaces and all are furnished with either a King or Queen sized bed, air conditioning, cable television, telephone and refrigerator. Each of the three floors has its own spacious veranda; each a perfect retreat for private relaxation. The graciously appointed grand foyer and the library, with its comfortable overstuffed chairs, glowing hearth and view of the river, provide inviting settings for meeting friends, reading or pleasant conversations. Breakfast is served in the formal dining room at private tables in view of the fireplace or on the majestic front veranda.
