DK Eyewitness

Rough Guide
"Located in a renovated 1920s building a block from the monorail, a stylish hotel whose smallish rooms are kitted out with vaguely aesthetic themes – with original art in each room."
Star Service
"In a convenient but slightly out-of-center location for business and leisure...this boutique-style hotel has been doing swimmingly, especially among the business traveler crowd." Full review

Gayot
"This eclectic property features the works of local artists and photographers in each of the 163 rooms, with more than 350 pieces throughout."
