Within the Housekeeping Hotel resides the daughter of the founder
of The Hotel- Duchess Daphne Boardom.
Born into a life of tradition, she became the steward of the hotel’s timeless halls, where oddities flourish and wonder offers a welcome escape from formality.

Duchess Daphne Boardom

Duchess Daphne is a distinguished matriarch of the Housekeeping Hotel, where she delights in the unraveling of time and order. Though reluctantly impeccably mannered, she harbours a fondness for solving mysteries, quietly funding Ophelia’s Seafaring Club and indulging the Soaking Society’s more speculative research. To Daphne, a mystery is not something to be solved too quickly, only encouraged, well supplied, and allowed to surprise everyone involved.
