The Monaco's rooms are large, with bold-red window curtains, geometric carpeting and curlicued dark-wood headboards; window nooks let you sit and watch the street action below. Amenities such as dog beds for pooches, child-safety kits for families, a fitness facility and free wi-fi ensure the Monaco draws a mixed crowd of business travelers and holiday-makers.
There's a free wine happy hour each evening (as at all Kimpton-brand properties).
