Stepped hot baths and a wood-paneled dry sauna face out toward the forested mountains and Gap River.
The gym
Treadmills and Kinesis equipment line full-height windows looking out across the city and surrounding hills.
Town House Bar
Under an arched wood ceiling, an illuminated green marble counter serves cocktails beside refrigerated wine displays.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
