Frommer's Review

A dazzling contribution to the emerging downtown Arts and Entertainment District, this boutique hotel, combining two buildings, gained instant membership in the selective Small Luxury Hotels of the World marketing group. The owners filled the lobby and main halls with fine 18th- and 19th-century European antiques and artworks, and commissioned custom reproductions for the bedrooms to carry through with the image thus created. There are wireless hotspots in public areas. Guests are serenaded at 15-minute intervals by the pealing of the 16 bells of Grace Church, across the street, so light sleepers will want a room away from that side of the hotel.

Facilities:
Restaurant (Italian); piano bar; small fitness room; concierge; business center; room service; same-day laundry; dry cleaning

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
