The staff at this classy business-district boutique hotel prides itself on attentive, personal service. The golden color scheme and intimate fireplace in the neoclassical lobby and the vibrant gold-and-crimson fabrics in the guest rooms -- most are small suites -- radiate warmth. Luxurious touches, such as 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, marble bathrooms, and custom-designed Biedermeier-style furniture, abound. Two penthouse suites have 24-foot ceilings and wraparound terraces. The hotel doesn't have a pool or fitness facilities, but guests have access to the extensive facilities at the YWCA next door for a fee. Pros: Chic, romantic, central location. Cons: No on-site spa or health club.
