Speaking of romance, you might feel the sting of Cupid's arrows in this downtown hideaway. Each of the Courtyard's buildings is historic. The Art Deco Wellborn, a late-bloomer that arrived in 1946, offers 14 one-bedroom apartments and a honeymoon suite (styles range from Thai to the Fab '50s). The Norment-Parry Inn is an 1883 Victorian-style home with six rooms decorated with English and American antiques; four have sitting rooms, all have private bathrooms. It, too, has a honeymoon suite highlighted by a walnut bed and a Victorian fireplace. The I. W. Phillips House, built in 1919, is reminiscent of old Southern homes with large verandas. Upstairs, there are three suites, one with a whirlpool, all with verandas overlooking the gardens and fountain. Finally, the Dr. Phillips House, built in 1893, made its bed-and-breakfast debut on Valentine's Day 1999 with six impeccably furnished and antique-laden rooms.
