The Levin

The Levin was founded by experienced hotelier David Levin. This 12-room hotel is an intimate, family-run affair that offers warm personalized service. For example, there is no big front desk, but instead a beautiful reception room. There are some great special features at the hotel, including a lovely free breakfast and a minibar stocked with a variety of champagne in every room. Art deco colors and shapes dominate the decor. In The Metro Bar and Bistro and beyond, the scene is laid-back and elegant.
