The Alexander

This modern upscale hotel features stylish interiors peppered with chic furniture and lots of artwork, from large murals to sculptures, paintings, and other artistic installations. The light and airy lobby is illuminated by walls of windows and offers comfortables sofas, armchairs, and trendy mid-century modern chairs to sink into. The plethora of artwork and a swirl of brightly colored lamps suspended from the ceiling add vibrancy to mostly soft neutral hues. The glass lamps continue into the adjoining Plat 99 Mixology Lounge, where decorative tilework covers the floors and walls, making for a visual feast. All spaces throughout this property are inviting, laced with art and chic touches, and the upscale atmosphere and convenient location attract both business and leisure travelers alike. Extended stays are also welcome and catered to here, with spacious suites that are equipped with both living areas and kitchens.
