“We’ve raised the bar to provide a more elegant atmosphere with all the modern conveniences, while also maximizing guest comfort and convenience,” noted Kate Hendrickson, General Manager. “As before, our guests will feel more like they are staying in a stylish home than a typical hotel room. Only now, that stylish home will be more elegant and refined.”
