"The art museum and boutique hotel also features the restaurant Proof on Main, which focuses on local products in everything from the food and the bourbon to the artwork and votive candles." -
This place is amazing. For the men...visit the bathroom and use the urinal. It is an interesting experience. -
Most amazing hotel - definitely spend time exploring the museum part of it, including the Proof restaurant! -
Love this hotel, the exhibition is Cuba right now. -
The coolest. Art museum right on first floor of hotel. Best mixed drink I've ever had: gin and house-made tonic, none of that quinine overkill, more of that fresh ginger snap. Food: simply great. -
-
One of the chicest places in town, the museum always has interesting contemporary art exhibits and the rooms are clean, modern, and comfortable. Look for the red penguins. -
BEWARE OF THE RED PENGUIN! (He's everywhere) -
Welcome to 21c Museum Hotel, if you're a fan of bourbon, they have a great bourbon bar here. Mosey on over to Proof on Main and grab a bourbon to relax and get your Urban Bourbon Trail Passport! -

Try the Bison Burger. Outstanding. And look out for a red penguin outside your door. -
Go to Proof, Have the warm Ricotta with Truffle Oil , and a large glass of Red Wine. Perfection:) -
The art display is very impressive and free. -
Drop by Proof for a drink afterwards. -
Pee on your friends through the one-way-window urinal.
Great location, terrable service
Great location, terrable service. Went there on a Sunday only one restaurant out of 4 open. No lounge open. Told at the restaurant no place in town to get a glass of wine on a Sunday. Not true, walked up the hill a little way to the Hyatt went to their lounge for drinks. Said room service until 12:00 tried at 11: no room service. Public areas not clean. Won't go back
