"A complementary property to the neighboring National World War II Museum, The Higgins is hard to suss out at first. The building exterior has a stark, almost modern Gothic look, which gives way to an Art Deco and retro aesthetic inside. The lobby is huge, with a floor-to-ceiling mural looming over the reception area. Period chandeliers and tastefully arranged artifacts complete the look. Even if you're not fully transported back in time, you're aware of the serious respect the hotel gives to history." - Paul Oswell
