The Bar/Lounge at Kimpton Marlowe Hotel

"The on-site Bambara restaurant is a neighborhood favorite that offers seasonal New American fare such as pan-seared scallops with English pea risotto, housemade pancetta and sherry gastrique, or pot roast with herbed potato dumplings, pearl onions and carrots"

"The hotel hosts a complimentary evening wine hour, and the on-site restaurant Bambara serves New American cuisine amid views of the river and downtown skyline"

"Bambara, the house restaurant and bar is a trendy brasserie, which also provides 24-hour room service"

"Surprising number of bored, rich teenagers flopping about on lounge duvets in lobby"

"The early evening complimentary wine hour - an institution of the California-based Kimpton chain - offers the opportunity to unwind and meet other guests in the lobby lounge, with its huge fireplace"
