"Housed in a 1910 Edwardian former municipal building with later art-deco touches, this hotel impresses with a domed skylight, veined columns, a grand marble staircase, and vintage furnishings that evoke mid-century office glamour. The 97 rooms and suites vary dramatically—some retain original fireplaces or include full kitchens—and the hotel is home to the two-Michelin-starred Brazilian‑Italian restaurant Da Terra, while sitting close to cultural draws like the Young V&A and the acclaimed Satan’s Whiskers bar." - Nicholas DeRenzo
