The rye program is genuinely special — they steered me toward a local distillery flight I would never have ordered on my own. Quiet enough on a Tuesday to hold a real conversation, and the fireplace seating is the best in the Core.

Stayed here for a conference and ended up at the bar every evening. Attentive service, a serious Old Fashioned, and plenty of outlets for catching up on email.
