The lobby is noble with marble pillars and touches of mahogany. Dutch and Venetian oil paintings, Chinese porcelain, and a large arrangement of fresh flowers add character to the room. A chandelier lends light to several intimate conversation areas. Intricate tapestries decorate the wall. The guest rooms have a distinguished feel with high ceilings and dark wood, and most have a small sitting area and desk.
Some deluxe accommodations offer a separate parlor area divided by a partial wall.
The views overlook the energetic downtown area. The hotel's Grant Grill restaurant has an interesting history, commemorated by a brass plaque at the door. The room admitted only men until the 1960s when a group of six lawyers booked a reservation under the first name of Sydney. When the group arrived, restaurant staff realized that Sydney was one of the firm's female partners. Since that day, the restaurant has opened its doors to serve innovative cuisine to men and women alike.
