The Vibe: Boutique hotel disguised as modern home.

The Area: South Congress. Within six blocks lies some of the city’s liveliest shopping, dining, nightlife and live music venues, while downtown is only a 20-minute walk away.

The DNA: The nearly all-white exterior and interior provides a breath of fresh air, punctuated by bright pops of colour, light woods and vibrant artwork. Some of the local artists featured in the hotel live right in the neighborhood. From details such as the Eames surfboard coffee table to the enveloping Arne Jacobsen egg chairs, this is a design lover’s dream house. The lounge opens onto a multi-level courtyard deck with sofas, hammocks and a 25-foot water feature, canopied by oak trees. 24/7 coffee and a self-serve breakfast in the communal kitchen are provided.

Suite-Me-Up: The seven architecturally stunning rooms leave no detail overlooked. Custom maple desks and platform beds with Sferra fine linens integrate seamlessly with the designer style of the entire hotel. Floor-to-ceiling windows face onto the courtyard and create a light-filled space, with reading nooks to enjoy the view from. The suites have a tub and a private deck.
