Abracadabra: the door swings open at the Topaz to reveal an Arabian Nights–style decor. Jewel-tone colors dominate the rooms – purple love seats, sapphire-blue drapes and pale-green striped walls, all set off by satiny white beds and pillows. While it's a bit faded and could use a refresh, it's still flush with the genial service and free-flowing wine you expect at Kimpton-brand hotels.
The location puts you near plenty of hip bars and restaurants. Healthy perks include in-room yoga gear and free access to a nearby fitness club.
