You know it's a classy hotel when you walk in through golden rotating doors past a dignified bellman with a top hat. But that's just the beginning of the intricate details at Market Pavilion Hotel. Rather than a lobby as the hotel's focal point, it's the restaurant with its custom-made booths, jazz music, great steaks and carpeted walls. Original art is everywhere here, and no two pieces are the same. What's more, all of the woodwork, too, is hand-painted by local artists. Each room has a genuine doorbell out front, a rare find in the modern era.
On weekends, the rooftop lounge has a DJ and dancing. But guests can jump into the pool at any hour. Watch sunset over downtown, catch a view of the nearby bridge and peer across the street to the custom house.
