What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the rooms’ high ceilings and generous proportions are a fine foundation for a modern luxury boutique hotel, and they’re dressed up with contemporary furniture and original artworks.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The downtown streetcar stops nearby, and the lively Power and Light District is a short walk away.
The rooms
Lofty windows illuminate neutral tones and custom millwork, while spacious layouts frame quiet retreats above downtown.
The gym
Treadmills and cardio equipment sit on the ground floor directly beneath a soaring multi-story glass atrium.
Restaurant
The Savoy
Red velvet drapes and green glazed tiles surround the 1903 dining room, where live jazz plays beside the original bar.
How it began
The Arbuckle coffee brothers built the hotel in 1888 to host rail passengers arriving through the old Union Depot.

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