The LA Times Goes Inside the Iron Horse Hotel

In April, we brought you a sneak peek of the Iron Horse Hotel, Milwaukee's "modern luxury boutique hotel" geared towards business travelers and motorcycle enthusiasts (it's a stone's throw from the Harley-Davidson Museum) slated to open September 1st.
We've seen the model pics of the old-furniture-factory-turned-hotel, but this week an LAT reporter went and got a tour of an almost-finished room. Despite the place being half done, she seemed to like what she saw.
She was particularly tickled about a 1907 sign from the Milwaukee Boiler Co which will grace the entrance to that sexy underground pool room (called The Boiler Room, natch).
She also assured us that the decor was tasteful and not packed full of black leather and Harley-themed stuff:
The hotel's motorcycling orientation is subtle. The entire subbasement is designed to house motorcycles, and the furniture in the lounge is leather, but overall the cycle theme, to a non-motorcyclist, is merely elegant.
Good. No tacky moustaches either, we hope.
