Fodor's Expert Review Lanson Place Hotel

The understated, striking design promotes a sense of calm, from the relaxing lounge-library to guest quarters that feel like exclusive apartments and come with kitchenettes and cleverly designed living areas. Travelers are pampered with a 24-hour gym, self-service laundry, DVD library, and the use of a complimentary smartphone. While there is no restaurant, buffet breakfast and evening cocktails are served in the attractive piano lounge.
