If you take a look around the Fairlane Hotel and feel as though you've stepped back a bit through time -- or onto a Mad Men set -- then you're in the right place. Garden & Gun praises the hotel's "playful but posh 1970s-inspired aesthetic" in this hotel set into a former bank building with midcentury modern touches throughout.
Rooms feature luxe touches like 55-inch flat-screen TVs, USB charging stations, marble showers and down comforters. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and all rooms receive complimentary nightly turndown service. Guests who upgrade to a suite will stay in a room that adds a separate living area, wet bar and soaking tub.
The hotel's onsite dining outlets are definitely worth a visit -- the first Mile End Delicatessen outside New York City offers pastrami, lox and bagels, while the Union Teller Coffee Counter serves Stumptown coffee and handmade pastries. It's Ellington's Mid Way Bar & Grill that's getting the lion's share of local attention, though -- the menu is inspired by midcentury cuisine like shrimp cocktails, wedge salads, pork chops and carrot cake for dessert. The fourth-floor skyline views from the wraparound terrace (with an outdoor fire pit!) certainly don't hurt either.
The Fairlane also has a great downtown location -- you'll be a few blocks removed from bustling Broadway (which means quieter than many other downtown hotels) but still a short hike to places like the Bridgestone Arena and famous honky-tonks like Tootsies and Robert's Western World.

Staff was great - they nail the little things like where it was raining when we arrived and the valet was quick to offer an umbrella for the 10nfoot walk to the door. Wonderful high ceilings in the room, great views, great bathroom.

Not only was the hotel a good value for the money as booked, the manager upgraded our room at no additional cost. Had a wonderful time and would highly recommend the restaurant, especially the shrimp and grits they serve.

The vibe of Ellington’s, the on-site restaurant, is really like no other. The cocktails, food and live music were outstanding. A retro-modern ambiance that was perfect for our date night.

The staff at Fairlane are truly wonderful and will assist in any way to make your stay the very best. Emily helped make my husband’s birthday weekend the best by coordinating a last minute amenity for us and even giving us a complimentary drink at Ellington’s. We loved everything about our stay and will absolutely come back in the future!
