The individually decorated rooms, which have randomly assigned numbers, focus more on design than amenities. They come with custom woodwork, organic soy mattresses and art or site-specific installations from local artists. The two smallest rooms have glass-walled toilet-shower combinations with the bowl inside of the shower stall.
You're not left stranded without any amenities; all rooms have WiFi and 22-inch HD LCD televisions with Apple TV so that you can stream Internet radio, Netflix or YouTube. A few of them go lo-fi with old-school cassette player consoles with mix-tapes for a back-in-the-day listening experience. Guests also receive tokens for drinks downstairs, but only the larger rooms come with a minifridge. Though, there is a one-star Michelin restaurant below that serves everything from wild boar sloppy joes with crispy sage and pickled jalapeño to roasted char with honey parsnip puree, bacon, chanterelle mushrooms and lobster broth.
The smallest room, at 152 square feet, starts at $75 a night. The largest digs, which has 351 square feet, starts at $225 a night.
