Hotel Clariana is now open

I had the opportunity to walk across downtown on June 7^th to check out the ribbon cutting for the new Hotel Clariana. Bravo to that crew for taking on the renovation of that classic 1914 structure (formerly a YMCA), and turning it into a unique hotel that can serve as an alternative to travelers weary of the more corporate offerings near the convention center. 

It’s not large, at only 44 rooms, and the structure was a little constrained in the modernization by the historical nature of the building (read: you will not have panoramic windows in your rooms). But, it’s a tidy and quirky new offering; definitely a welcome addition to that particular block of Santa Clara street.

Hotel Clariana is located at 100 E. Santa Clara street between 3rd and 4th. For more details click here.
