Part of the Sage Hospitality portfolio, Halcyon offers kitschy room amenities that include turntables with a curated vinyl collection, while the first-floor Gear Garage provides guests with fishing gear, day packs, binoculars, sport accessories and even long boards to enjoy during their stay. Each floor of the hotel boasts a Vivreau dispenser providing both still and sparkling water. There’s also courtesy transportation in the Range Rover house car; a rooftop pool and bar; fitness center; in-room Nespresso machines; Enseo in-room entertainment including Hulu Plus, Netflix, Crackle and Pandora; high-speed WiFi; and 6,500 square feet of meeting and event space. The hotel’s innovative check-in process takes place at the Kitchen Counter, staffed by hosts who can offer assistance with everything from arrivals to a freshly prepared Intelligentsia espresso. Beyond checking in, the Kitchen Counter is also the location of local beers, wine, savory snacks and custom libations all day long. Dining venues include Quality Italian and the Asian-themed Departure Restaurant. Prefer to explore the neighborhood’s options?
