bathroom
Tiled bathrooms feature eco-friendly Roil bath amenities and sunken showers over tubs.
lobby
The small lobby area features a few leather chairs under two black leaf-inspired light fixtures. Throughout the day the hotel offers spa water. In the morning, there's coffee and tea. Helpful staff can assist with travel plans. Since the lobby is so small, guests opt to relax in the 5th floor lounge area. Plush couches and outdoor seating areas provide a peaceful place to escape the hubbub of the city.
gym
The grafitti-walled fitness center houses weights, cardio machines, complimentary water, and Pilates equipment.
dining
Dirty Habit restaurant and bar, renowned for its outdoor patio and adventurous meat-heavy menu, relies on an industrial chic appeal to deliver a spirits-heavy cocktail menu. Breakfast favorites like brisket hash and omelets give way to dinner favorites like the seared salmon salad and the ribeye paired with broccolini.
drinking
Locals line the metal bar for cocktails like the Animal (a blend of bourbon and IPA). Sit outside on the patio and share a bottle from the expansive wine list.
