The Mayfair Hotel

Dating all the way back to 1926, this historic hotel recently underwent a sleek redesign by Icelandic-born architect Gulla Jónsdóttir. Its new aesthetic harks back to its former Roaring Twenties glory (it was the site of the first Academy Awards afterparty in 1929), blending vintage elements with a moody, contemporary vibe. It’s a stylish yet affordable option for downtown accommodation.
