Stenciled with ravens, books and the face of Edgar Allan Poe, the in-room wallpaper at this new boutique property gives a nod to the city's most famous literary resident. Tucked between Mt Vernon and downtown, the hotel is well-suited for travelers who don't mind a short walk to a variety of attractions from a central base.
Enjoy cocktails and small plates at the on-site restaurant, Poets. Self-park at the garage, directly across the street ($12 per night Sunday to Thursday, $5 per night Friday and Saturday). Pet fee is $25 per stay.
