Scene
Grand upscale hotel in an impressive and historic Neoclassical building with opulent interiors
Housed in a grand Neoclassical building that was once a bank, this upscale hotel oozes decadence and class, mixed with a touch of modernity and a healthy dose of Italian inspiration. Interiors are opulent, awash in cream and gold hues and filled with lavish features like high ceilings with decorative molding, gleaming marble floors, grand windows, chandeliers, and fine art adorning the walls. Some spaces are more contemporary in style, like the purple lighting, sleek bar, and stylish chairs at the Inn Ox Lounge, but most feature a classic sensibility. Guests are a mix of leisure and business travelers, and the property does a great job at catering to both.
