This is a beautiful hotel with an excellent location, easy parking, and superb customer service. We've stayed here a few times this year will keep coming back. As noted, the location couldn't be better - close enough to the flatirons to offer a superior view while also being only a block from the Pearl Street mall and all that if offers. Also, Lolita's is practically right around the corner, so if you need a late night snack, you can get one.
There are several businesses contained within this place - Jill's (a restaurant), T-Zero (a bar), and the spa - all are excellent. We've attended each of these components both independent from hotel stays and as a component of one and rarely have been disappointed.
I say rarely because yes, mistakes have occasionally been made. However, St. Julien and it's associated businesses know how to make things right and this is key. If they make an error and you are respectful and courteous, they will own it. In my opinion, this is a hallmark of a quality establishment.
What else does this place offer?
The gym is nice for a hotel gym - bigger than normal and with a reasonable free weight selection to compliment the cardio machines.
The pool and hot tub are beautiful, well-maintained, and relaxing. You can order food to be delivered poolside and there is also an attached outdoor seating area. Do take note that if you go outside to this area via the doors from the pool, you must bring your key with you as you will get locked out otherwise. Also, as of the time of this review, the wall clock in the pool area seems to have issues. I'm not sure if I'd trust it.
The rooms are comfortable and well-furnished. Streaming services are offered which is wonderful. I have had some issues with volume control being problematic when watching streamers, so keep that in mind. A couple of other quirks are that the in-room coffee machines can be a little tricky to operate - I sometimes have to gently jiggle the water tank to get it to flow - so contact the front desk if you have issues. Also, note that the in room fridges are mini bars, so they are full. i.e. there will be no room for your leftovers.
There is a very affordable parking garage below the hotel and an elevator that connects right to it. Couldn't be easier. Valet parking is available if you choose.
So what about the associated businesses?
T-Zero is staffed by skilled bartenders and the liquor selection is quite good. The Pearl is my favorite in-house specialty drink.
Jill's is a quality restaurant. If you order room service, this is where it will come from. However, the restaurant itself is lovely, so I recommend a trip down. The hotel even has a small garden that produces seasonally appropriate fresh ingredients for Jill's which really is a step above. We like this place enough that we brought my family there to eat when they visited and they had a great time.
The spa is superb, both in quality of services and amenities. The estheticians are skilled and the atmosphere is entirely pleasant. If you book an appointment, you get access to the spa for the entirety of that day. That means locker rooms, changing rooms, separate rest rooms, steam room, sauna, showers, and the lounge (complete with light snacks, tea, and seasonal fruit infused waters). You also get access to the pool, hot tub, and gym. It's fire, honestly. Just be sure to book in advance as it's a popular place and bookings fill up.
You will spend more to come here, but the quality is evident and it's worth it, in my opinion. Staying here is a treat for us on special occasions. We live nearby enough that it's kind of the ultimate stay cation. We do treat the spa as a day spa and visit there more often (you can become a spa member which gives you a discount on services - we did that).
Honestly, this place is just worth it. Check it out. read more
