"This hotel feels brand new, though technically it was redesigned and relaunched in 2017, so Renaissance is a perfect name. It's exterior is inconspicuous, but inside, its lobby cavernous and vibrant—accented with teal and chocolate, full of edgy furniture, diagonal bookshelves, and even a “bowtie wall” with instructional diagrams. The life-sized metal pig next to check-in is a hint at all the great BBQ you'll find in town, in case you needed one." - Allston McCrady
