In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The River Street promenade runs right below, and the green lawns of Ellis Square sit two blocks inland.
The rooms
Corner King rooms have deep soaking tubs, and river-facing rooms look straight out over the busy shipping channel.
The gym
Cardio equipment and free weights face a full-length mirrored wall inside the on-site fitness studio.
Bar
Rocks on the Roof
Glass garage doors open onto a brick terrace five stories above the river, and oyster shell chandeliers illuminate the bar.
At the table
Blue banquettes line the dining room under fish sculpture chandeliers, and the kitchen prepares raw bar platters and seafood boards.
How it began
Built in 2009 as the Bohemian, the hotel takes its new name from the projecting oriel windows along the facade.

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