| - If you ever want to feel like a celebrity for a night, this is your one stop shop to make it happen. A friend and I decided to have a girls night out that included a stay at this stunning property.
I made our reservation a number of weeks in advance using a 3rd party site. As such, I am unable to speak to the actual reservation process. I called the morning of to see if we could get an early check in- as it is not until 4pm. They advised they only had a handicap room available at that time. We wanted a traditional room so we opted to wait.
Upon arrival I noted that the only parking available was valet. You pull directly in front of the hotel and you will find the valet station. The cost is high as if we are in NY and/or DC. I am pretty sure it was something like $36 a night. Additionally, if you plan to have guests over they must pay a $10 valet charge.
After parking I entered the hotel and was a little lost. The front desk area is not your typical hotel front desk set up. It is located directly to your left as you walk through the main doors. It is more reminiscent of a well decorated executive office. After telling the staff we were having a staycation, he provided us with complimentary bath balls!
To get to your room you must go up the staircase located in the check-in area. This is where the beauty truly manifests. The hallways feel extremely luxurious, with beautiful lighting fixtures, perfectly manicured carpet, nice art work, and a pleasant aroma. The location of our room was towards the back of the hotel. I had the opportunity to see all of the amenities on my route to the room. There is a decently stocked gym, as well as a library. The library looks like a library you would find in a beautiful home. This is where the evening reception and breakfast take place-- both are complimentary. I also passed the hotel entrance way to the onsite bar. To get to the bar you do have to walk down another staircase .
The room-- nothing short of amazing. It makes you feel as if you are in a chic studio condo. There is a hardwood floor hallway, a bathroom with a separate room for the toilet, a desk area, closets, a large window with brick detail. The bedding was appealing and the beds were firm- which is what I desire. Our room included a Nespresso machine that included about 6 capsule ( both expresso and lungo). Snacks and drinks were available for an additional charge- slightly overpriced, but that is to be expected.
Things to note: there is a turndown service (offers bottled waters and macaroons from Amelie's). The evening reception included alcoholic drinks, and light snacks such as cheese, crackers and fruit. The complimentary breakfast was satisfying. There were a number of options ranging from items to make a nova- lox, to eggs, oatmeal, and pastries. The drink options for breakfast were also diverse, and included both cold and hot drinks. It is my understanding that breakfast options are from the Five Church restaurant and Amelie's.
Overall, If you are a lover of boutique hotels, want a location that is close to everything downtown, appreciate stellar service, and love staying in hotels that look and smell good- you will NOT be disappointed with this option-- just Book it!!
