The hotel also includes decorative stacked stone throughout the interior, wood floors, porcelain tile with the look of marble and a second-floor librarywith two Apple computers and a smart TV.

Two levels of underground valet parking combine for 39 stalls, but each is equipped with a $7,000 lift that allows two vehicles to be parked on top of each other in a single space, doubling the capacity to 78 vehicles. Another 80 spaces are leased for more valet parking during evening hours in a city parking ramp a block away.

Instead of a concierge, the hotel’s 45 employees, many of whom live Downtown, are all being trained to offer recommendations and advice on everything from shopping and entertainment options to where to find the best deep-fried cheese curds. Local businesses, including Overture Center representatives, have been brought in to help educate staff, said Holly Breidel, North Central’s regional senior sales manager.

“We just want all of our employees to be able to provide a full experience for the guest when they come in,” Breidel said. “They’re creating a whole experience, not just (a single) recommendation. Every single employee will be knowledgeable so they are their own concierge. It’s an experience they may not get somewhere else.”
