5 things to know before you go
💡The GPS often fails when trying to find the entrance—it's actually tucked away on 1st Street, not Grand Ave.
💡The room lighting and temperature are controlled by high-tech touch panels that can be confusing to figure out at first.
💡The lobby is on the 10th floor, meaning you have to take an elevator up from the valet just to check in.
💡The open-concept wardrobe in standard rooms means you don't get a traditional closed closet to hide your luggage.
💡The hotel offers a highly exclusive 'Perfect Pour' Louis XIII cognac ritual at The Beaudry Room, complete with white gloves and crystal glasses.
