This upscale design hotel down by the river has a clean, modern aesthetic. The skylit lobby with high ceilings segues into spacious, streamlined rooms done out in shades of blue and contemporary furnishings. Large suites and a babysitting service make this one a good choice for families. The restaurant, 33 Alameda, is highly recommended.
