We won't keep you guessing over the owner of this bright and blossomy hotel carpet: it's Chicago's new Hotel Palomar, the newest jewel in the Kimpton Hotels crown.
For a hotel that stresses their love for wine—there's a hosted lobby wine reception in the evening, a great bottle of red in the minibar and even sommelier classes at other Palomars—the carpeting is a perfect choice for hiding red wine stains. But how does it go over with male guests? The Palomar is a consummately feminine hotel, and when we stayed we saw no evidence of single male guests. Rather, those trotting through the lobby or joining in the wine reception were female executives, female tourists and the occasional couple.
Good for the Palomar! Giving the the girls a place to get their wine on without having to brush off unwanted advances (as sports bars around the hotel and places like Rock Bottom Brewery across the street are known for). But how is it to sleep there? We'll give you the full review of our stay tomorrow!
But back to the carpet: what do you think? Fugly or non-fugly?
