“Kex Hotel makes a statement with its Icelandic-inspired aesthetic and commitment to fostering a communal vibe. The restaurant, Pacific Standard, stands out; its design lends itself well to both solitary dining and lively gatherings. The sauna adds a distinctive touch, while the building itself, a refurbished historic structure, exudes character. It's my opinion that this hotel particularly appeals to those seeking a blend of social engagement and unique design.”
