A small hotel that
takes the small things
seriously.
Twenty-eight rooms two blocks off the river. Walnut headboards, quiet plumbing, a chef in residence, a bar that closes when the last guest leaves. The kind of small hotel that does not exist enough.

◐ The hotel
Twenty-eight rooms.
One philosophy.
We bought a long-vacant 1908 building in the warehouse district and rebuilt it from the brick out. Walnut headboards. Quiet plumbing. A chef in residence. A bar that closes when the last guest leaves. The kind of small hotel that does not exist enough.
