"Built in 1900 and housed in the Romanesque Gothic former Union Station railway terminal, this hotel is a grandly restored National Historic Landmark." Full review

Be sure to take advantage of the hotel's valet parking.
Concierge
"It's worth staying at Union Station for the architecture alone... but the location is nothing to scoff at either."
i
Avoid lower-level rooms with windows facing the parking lot: Noise from the valet station and beer hall next door is likely to rouse light sleepers.
