Fodor's Review:

This 1903 beaux arts-style building with ornate plasterwork on its facade and a stunning marble staircase spiraling up its three floors once housed the Chemists Club. The 11-foot ceilings give the modern guest rooms a touch of grandeur, and the Carrara cut-marble bathrooms show the hotel's opulent intentions. Soaring columns and vaulted ceilings make the splendid Alchemy Suite -- built in the 1930s to replicate a medieval laboratory -- a Gothic confection. Guest service, however, sometimes seems like an afterthought.

Great Location

Posted by lebekka from Tucson on 4/29/07
This hotel has a great atmosphere and an even better location. It's just a block or so from the train station, so it's cheap and easy getting all over the city. The staff were friendly and helpful.
