A suave 1936 streamline hotel buffed up and polished for 21st-century consumption. The intimate lobby is softly illuminated and decorated in sandy hues, while the elegant bedrooms boast European king-size beds, imported cotton sheets and fleecy robes in the marble bathrooms. All rooms are double-insulated against the hustle of Washington Avenue. Joley, the dark and dreamy new restaurant, serves sophisticated cuisine by Gordon Ramsay protégé John Suley. It looks promising, but the hotel's previous restaurants have lacked staying power.
