“It feels less like a hotel and more like a grand, character-filled inn, with its charming sitting rooms and an intimate speakeasy bar inviting exploration. The generous, complimentary breakfast buffet and the readily available kitchen are thoughtful touches, adding to the sense of welcome. This property's real strength lies in its ability to feel like a destination in itself, even while being just steps from the city's main attractions.”
