Libations and Small Bites
The 1889
Named for the year, not the room
The hotel opened in 1889 and has run continuously since. The lounge carries the date because it sits in the oldest part of the plan, off the lobby and next to Chancellor’s.
It is the perfect place to unwind after a long day, a libation before your dinner table is ready, and the room people come back to afterward.
