I was always a little jealous of all the out of towners who got to stay here overnight. Why should they have all the fun? Well, my husband recently surprised me with a staycation in a corner King Spa room so now I can say that I got to experience the beauty and luxury that is Kimpton Hotel Monaco.
Let's start with the design and decor. Give me anything quirky and funky that involves bold pattern mixing, and I will eat it up. From the emerald tufted headboards to the houndstooth bathroom, I loved it all. Hotel Monaco is making a statement that screams "I'm luxurious without taking myself too seriously."
Speaking of serious, let's move on to the gigantic bathroom and the seriously large soaking tub that stood in the middle of an open concept shower room. That tub was the tub of my dreams. Deep enough to get a complete soak and large enough for two people (three if you're adventurous). All the bath products smelled delicious too, so that was a bonus.
The King bed was absolutely divine. Is was so comfortable that I could have spent an entire week between the sheets (Room service could have kept me sustained).
I also really enjoyed the free wine/beer happy hour that was offered from 5-6. It was a great way to mingle and explore some more of this beautiful establishment. There are so many delightful details. Plus, who doesn't enjoy free booze?!
Staff was pleasant and helpful. Valet was low-stress. I cannot wait to come back and stay again.
