Honestly I loved this hotel so much I’m almost craving to go back lol. We had a really hard time initially finding where the actual hotel was and the parking garage was slightly confusing But totally worth it. I love how secretive the hotel was and how no one would really know it’s there unless you’re staying there. This place was wonderful and we will absolutely be back.

Please keep this to yourself. This was a fantastic place to stay and I want to make sure I can get a room next time I'm in town. A short walk from the train station and central not only to the financial district but to everything downtown. The rooms are spacious with marble bathrooms large beeds and quiet hallways. These rooms were built for CEOs. If for no other reasons, stay for the 40th floor views. I can't wait to return.

Beautiful view and wonderful staff to boot! We got to town early but had called to ask if we could store our baggage. They went above and beyond to get a room ready for us when we arrived at the hotel at 11:00 am! Thank you to the front desk staff as well as the housekeepers.
