"Sited above a historic diner at the corner of Metropolitan and Union avenues, this calm, design-forward 187-room retreat contrasts the neighborhood’s bustle with a high‑ceilinged lobby finished in terrazzo, globe lights, and a soothing palette of grays, pinks, and greens. Many rooms feature large balconies or bi-level loft layouts and skyline views; local makers are showcased throughout (select suites include Alex Proba rugs and an exterior fence mural by Fernando “Ski” Romero). A fourth-floor terrace pool with a full lounge and bar — serving tropical snacks like tamarind wings and escovitch lobster tacos — adds a seasonal resort feel, and day passes are available to locals via ResortPass." - Lyndsey Matthews
