HOTEL GRAND STARK

This four-storey, 1906 brick beauty was once a furniture store, its upper floors shuttered for decades until the Hotel Grand Stark opened in 2021. Original floors and a grand, forest-green staircase pair off against misty, blue-green and white walls adorned with works by local artists. Rooms have well-thought-out details, including throws from a store down the road and wooden stools sourced on Etsy. Order a breakfast of avocado toast or hash brown chilaquiles

(a traditional Mexican dish of fried tortillas) from the retro-style Grand Stark Deli downstairs, and while away an evening at Bar Chamberlain, a cosy ground-floor spot that’s popular with creative professionals from the neighbourhood.

ROOMS: $168 (£122). palisociety.com
