We have 8x studio apartments, 4x 1 bedroom apartments, and 1x 2 bedroom apartments on site.

How much does it cost to book the entire hotel?
We use variable pricing to determine the cost to book the entire hotel. For the restaurant / speakeasy portion of the property, we set a price based on anticipated sales for a given date to determine pricing. We offer discounts for bookings that are more than 2 nights!
