Rough Guide
"This hotel sits nestled like a Victorian Grande Dame in the heart of downtown. Replenish yourself in the spa or visit the 23rd floor martini lounge."
Michelin Guide
"East downtown's oldest property (1893) remains the city's grande dame. A hand-painted mural of the azure sky, with cherubs and garlands, decorates the lobby's three-story ceiling."
