Guest and common rooms seamlessly blend original architectural features and stylishly contemporary décor. Tucked away on a quiet side street, it’s within easy walking distance of the vibrant city’s downtown attractions, shopping and dining. Choose from three rooms and three suites, all furnished with specially designed mattresses and luxe linens. For maximum privacy, the cozy Loft Suite is set in the hotel’s detached carriage house.
