Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Sylvee concert hall shares the block, and Breese Stevens Field is just a short walk down the avenue.
The rooms
Compact rooms stick to the essentials, keeping the focus on a comfortable bed after an evening out.

A mini bouldering wall and heavy bag join cardio gear and free weights, open around the clock.
Dogs stay too.

Ático
Agave cocktails and Latin American plates arrive beneath pink arches, with broad windows looking out over the city.
At the table
Bar Moxy pours local beers beneath slatted ceilings, serving morning coffee and crisp flatbreads right at the counter.
How it began

Squeezed onto a 60-foot lot, the tower uses salvaged pulleys from the site's former industrial building for a cocktail dumbwaiter.
