Scene
Chic and streamline boutique hotel with a monochromatic look
The Queen Boutique Hotel is situated in a white, 19th-century four-story townhouse. Though the exterior is historical, the interiors are pure monochromatic modernism. Guests are greeted at a white reception desk, and the gray stone floor leads into a lobby lounge that chicly pairs white marble floors with exposed-brick walls. Angular, origami-like armchairs and couches are upholstered in gray and black and gathered on rugs around modern white coffee tables. The restaurant is surprisingly sophisticated considering its basement location -- a well-lit brick tunnel leads to a small bar, while the restaurant features black and white decor and a stone accent wall. Guests tend to be leisure travelers and tourists, especially couples.

Parking can be a pain -- there are limited spots outside of the hotel, but guests usually park in a guarded lot about a 15-minute walk away.
