Reimagined mid-century motel
The mid-century motor lodge turns inward around a shared atrium, complete with coffee on tap beneath a retractable roof.
“The 42 rooms surround a shared indoor courtyard space, which is outfitted with communal seating…”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
The rooms are carefully considered, with a minimalist, slightly industrial accent, and enough color (and greenery) to keep them feeling warm.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Dense dining stretches along Broadway and nearby Phila Street, while the historic Saratoga Racetrack lies just down the road.
The rooms
Bedrooms wrap the inner courtyard across two levels, arranged with custom furniture and an artist-studio layout.
Dogs stay too.
How it began
The building started life as the Downtowner motel. Its atrium floor is paved in blue tile where the swimming pool once sat.
