Fodor's Expert Review Artisan Downtown

The hospitality at this 1920s-era downtown boutique hotel starts with a free welcome goodie bag and continues throughout your stay. The property has been through various iterations, but the latest renovation created a trendy, updated space that preserves the original hardwood floors, the stone-floored lobby, and the exposed brick walls. Most rooms are spacious suites that offer modern amenities but also remain faithful to the history of the century-old structure. Restaurants and shops are a short walk away, but staying in is an option, too: there's a cozy lounge with a full bar and a delightful on-site Cuban restaurant.
