This French style building's interior is just as impressive as it's exterior. There is a strong attention to detail here, from the lobby to the rooms. The rooms are comfortably decorated with wooden furnishings, comforters and luxurious, well equipped bathrooms and are a quiet and relaxing place to sleep at the end of the day. The bottles of Evian and tray of French chocolates are a nice touch and another way in which the hotel makes a reference to France. The deluxe suites have comfortable seating areas too. There is a chic bar off the lobby where you can enjoy cocktails and a wide variety of other drinks and the restaurant serves some lovely meals in a relaxing atmosphere. The staff here go out of their way to make sure you feel welcome and comfortable in this hotel and they really help to give it the high praise that it deserves.

Great lobby that always has unusual floral arrangements. Rooms are pretty small and sparse, although views can be wonderful. Bathrooms are well-appointed. Breakfast is FABULOUS and a good value for a downtown hotel. Lunch is delicious as well. Gym is just so-so. LOVE the location - perfect for shopping. I've stayed here several times and service is good, but I had one instance where it was absolutely above and beyond.
