1. When I walked into the Iron Horse Hotel and saw its inviting, large lobby with a mix of beat up leather couches (and eclectic mix of furniture and banquettes) with huge, decorative brass tacks, a fun use of industrial detritus for decoration (in perfect harmony with the rough hewn building itself) I was not reminded of other boutique hotels in America but the Paradors of Spain (this is a Good Thing).
