Fodor's Expert Review Kimpton Sylvan Hotel

Slow down as you approach this gem of a former 1950s apartment building turned boutique hotel or you may drive by it. Once inside, you’ll have a hard time deciding whether to lounge in the soothing nature-inspired aesthetic of the rooms, relax in the courtyard, or grab a drink in the plush restaurant, The Betty. Thoughtful touches like a big, blond-wood dining table with board games nearby and easy access to bikes for rent play well with the mid-century modern vibe. Look for local artwork throughout, and especially along the St. Julep rooftop bar—the jewel of the hotel in both color scheme and place to be.
