The Bar/Lounge at Hotel J

"A 19th-century summer mansion, which retains the original large porch and tiled stoves, houses the bar and lounge, while the brasserie is located on the marina, with a large outdoor terrace"

"The bar pours expectedly expensive spirits, but the food is reasonably priced, and diners have options, though the same chef prepares food for both the conservatorylike dining room and the prized lunch and dinner spot out on the pier"

"At breakfast in the clubhouse atmosphere of the lounge, I caught myself contemplating one of the many photos of elegant sailing boats and wondering how I’d look at the helm in a thick cable-knit jumper, studying clouds and pulling on ropes, or whatever it is that people do on yachts"
