We had a Deluxe Suite. We loved having two rooms (with a great view of the American Tobacco Campus) and a spacious bathroom with a great shower. We enjoyed viewing the art throughout the hotel. The only negative to us was that we had to order ice through the front desk. We prefer having access to an ice machine to get ice at our convenience. The valet staff was friendly and always brought our vehicle promptly.

Everything is unique about this experience. From the bar/lounge restaurant to the multiple art installations through the interesting nooks and crannies of the awesome old dart deco building. My second time there and I got a corner room that was incredible. Can’t wait for a reason to return.

Staff was polite and helpful. Hotel artwork was nice to browse. Hotel was within walking distance of DPAC and restaurants. My dislike was for the lack of sound proofing. Excessive noise from people walking in the hallway, cars and trains, and the adjacent room. Beds were hard and a bit uncomfortable.

This place is so unique and it’s conveniently located downtown. The front desk let us check in an hour early; our room was classy and very clean; it has a nice fitness center and sauna in the basement; and the hotel provided us with a nice welcome card and fruit tray in our room without us asking for this or charging us for it — what a nice touch. It’s one of the best places we’ve ever stayed.
