Note: Be sure to request one of the hotel's iPads at check-in, as these are a wellspring of information, and not just about the hotel's facilities, but also about the city and some fun off-the-beaten-path sights.

Independent "Caters to a hip, young crowd and there’s pretty much everything you need on-site, from hairdressing, sauna and hot tub to yoga classes. The style is repurposed vintage, industrial piping"
