"Reopened after a long closure, this storied 139-year-old institution blends its bohemian, often notorious past with playful contemporary details across 155 guest rooms—digital keys on red-tassel fobs, automated curtains pierced with punk-rock holes, and a mix of tiger-print and fringed furniture—where longtime tenants still inhabit distinctive apartments; downstairs, a gilded Lobby Bar serves classic hotel cocktails in an atmosphere that nods to the building’s layered cultural history." - Jennifer Flowers
