"A European-style, opulent retreat built on the former site of the public library that impresses with art-deco touches such as a Champagne lounge featuring salvaged pink marble, crystal chandeliers, marble floors, and wrought-iron railings. The 179 dog-friendly rooms share a pale pink, white, and tan palette and upscale details like marble vanities, deep-soaking tubs, plush bedding, and locally inspired artwork. On-site amenities include a heated pool with cabanas, a full-service spa, a pâtisserie serving homemade macarons and éclairs, a rooftop bar for cocktails, and a standout restaurant where dishes like grilled prime rib eye and bourbon-brined chicken are recommended." - Devorah Lev-Tov
