Rooms & rate

What you're paying for

A small inventory of individually styled rooms and suites with a residential, antique-accented sensibility. The scale is the point — expect personal service and a quiet, home-like feel rather than a sprawling resort.

Why we say this

Insider secrets & local vibes

Its small scale and discreet, personal service make it feel calmer and more bespoke than the city's big-name hotels.
