Under the same ownership as the nearby Spectator, this genteel, welcoming hotel is not historic (it was built in 2002), but it is well placed for exploring downtown. Its dramatic spiral staircase is a joy to climb and the verdant rooftop terrace is lovely to visit around sundown, during the wine hour. Comfy rooms and superfriendly service round out offerings.
Guests also appreciate the champagne at check-in and the complimentary bikes.
