“This hotel strikes a smart balance, I'd say, blending historical architecture with a contemporary design; plus, it stands out with unique amenities like tarot experiences and pet-friendly policies that waive extra fees. The cocktail program, inspired by synesthesia, is another compelling reason to visit. A stay here promises distinctive character and curated comforts.”
