Intimate boutique hotel housed in 6-story brick, Romanesque Revival building dating from 1890, originally built for John Astor II. Plank floors, brick walls and simple slipcovered chairs hint at the laidback style that characterizes this place. The wall of colorfully bound art and fashion books adds a touch of class.
