Gayot "This Hotel Indigo outpost offers services beyond those of your typical boutique hotel with a level of artistry many chain accommodations fail to deliver."

Lonely Planet "Peruse local-interest and art-history books in the library nook, or retreat to your room and wrap yourself up in a plush bathrobe." Full review
