The Bar/Lounge at Palihotel Melrose

"On-site facilities include Palikitchen, serving comfort food and artisan coffee and tea; Thai Thai for Thai massages; and a blow-dry bar --- yep, that’s right, a bar devoted to blowing dry your hair! A private courtyard, pet-friendly policies and a 24-hour concierge round out the perks"

"'s newest brand of hotels have made the most of the small spaces, from the 150-square-foot lobby "minibar" to the deconstructed closets in guest rooms"

"Eliot—is a sceney brunch and dinner spot for hip locals, and the lobby lounge becomes a lively bar by evening"

"At night the lobby and terrace take on a quietly clubby lounge feel, animated by the gentle ba-boomp of acoustic rock"

"The location may be unexpected and the space a bit small, but inside lays 32 impeccably-designed rooms, indoor and outdoor lounge areas including an alfresco courtyard and upstairs salon, and homey charm that makes you want to curl up with a book in every nook and cranny"
