Larkspur Hotel When the Larkspur hotel group took over once-named Cartwright Hotel in 2007, they added an old-fashioned bar in the lobby, complete with leather seats and dark wood, naming it 1915 for the y ear the hotel was built. The old-time theme extends to the redecorated guest rooms, vienna lonely planet where you ll find chocolate-brown leather headboards and stately , if some what staid, ear th-toned furnishings. I n keeping with the architectural priorities of a near centur y ago, the guest r ooms are rather petite and the bathrooms truly tiny. While some closets are teensy, others are mysteriously large.
