This 165-room boutique hotel weaves together a number of disparate design threads, and manages to integrate itself seamlessly into a neighborhood.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in the Golden Triangle Creative District, the hotel sits steps from major art museums, civic parks, and nearby gallery corridors.
The rooms
Birch accents and neutral palettes frame curated lithographs, while Italian marble bathrooms and mountain-facing windows complete the minimalist layout.
The gym and spa
A 24-hour fitness room has cardio machines and free weights, and in-room massages are available on demand.
Dogs stay too.
FIRE Restaurant & Lounge
The fourth-floor dining room serves contemporary American fare against red leather seating and an expansive glass wine wall.

FIRE Terrace
Sculptural fire pits and red umbrella tables warm the open-air terrace, looking out toward the city and mountains.
How it began
Conceived as an architectural extension of the cultural district, the property themes each guest floor around a single contemporary artist.
