Why People Love It

8.9⭐454 reviews
  • Biophilic design with 3,000+ real plants and reclaimed wood everywhere
  • Harriet's Rooftop bar offers some of the best skyline views in the city
  • The Field House gym is actually gym-quality, not just a hotel afterthought

Quick Take: It's stunningly beautiful and eco-conscious, but the King West location means you're sleeping on top of a party.

Reviewed by @ari.0x: My boyfriend and I did a spur-of-the-moment staycation here and it was exactly what we needed. The earthy vibes are so calming, and I'm not joking about the bed—it gave me the best sleep of my life. Plus, the room service French toast is a must-order.
