Year Launched: 2017

The guestrooms and suites incorporate rich metal and wood finishes, along with saturated jewel tones within the designs. Retro-chic accents provide a playful twist in the hotel’s design story against the backdrop of the city, viewed through floor-to-ceiling windows.

OVERVIEW

The 180 room and 18 story modern luxury hotel is located on the site of the former historic Cedar Hotel. The four-story brick-and-terra-cotta façade of the original hotel is preserved and given fresh life. Original brick façade was removed, catalogued and ultimately rebuilt into the base of the building. The glass curtain wall of the new hotel tower is a taut, three-dimensional envelope. The distinctive “folding” geometry is inspired by the argyle-like pattern founded in the historic brick façade.

PUBLIC SPACES

Upon entering the hotel lobby space, guests are surrounded by a 30-foot-high art wall, featuring lines of poetry from Parisian poet Marcel Proust. The large painting featured in the lobby behind the reception desk was the inspiration of the properties jewelry tone color palette.
