Scene
Spacious, modern hotel catering to the business set
The hotel is inside a modern, five-story building with a glass facade that appears fairly corporate, a vibe that continues into the lobby, with its dark tiled floors and minimalist furnishings -- and some very bold, geometric lamps for touches of style. Just behind the front desk is the convenient, 24-hour Plaza H.U.B. restaurant where guests
can grab drinks, coffee, and pastries next to the business center. The spacious Plaza Lounge has a big skylight illuminating black tables and chairs in the
center of the room, offering space for corporate types to meet over coffee and
discuss work. Classic, white columns connect the lower ground-level to the
exposed upper-level, where gray booths and tables set with orange chairs provide
additional seating. A smaller seating area is decorated with an orange-and-white Eero Aarnio
Ball chair near a shelf stocked with board games for guest use. Bar 7 Blings has live music on weekends, and a posh-gothic vibe with carved wooden
columns and beautiful stained-glass windows. Guests can get a meal in a trendy
space at Kitzens, a modern restaurant with edgy decor including whimsical orange
lights and busy patterned carpeting.
