"Housed in a landmark Renaissance revival building on the National Register of Historic Places, the hotel exudes European-style charm with original mahogany detailing, marble floors, and mosaics that depict local history; guest rooms are elegantly appointed and feature spacious bathrooms with deep-soaking tubs. Located steps from the Country Club Plaza, the property also programs its own entertainment—weekly summer jazz on the front lawn and regular live music at its restaurant—where the chef hosts wine dinners and sommelier events that are popular with both visitors and locals." - Tonya Russell
