What's The Deal The Kimpton Hotel Group runs this hotel, spiffed up with a $30 million restoration in 1999. You're in the Reliance Building, one of the first skyscrapers ever built. This boutique hotel is an architectural treat, with terrazzo tile floors, marble wainscoting, and mahogany throughout. Rooms are comfortable and clubby.
