Highs & Lows

  • Effortlessly disruptive: Eaton’s purpose driven mission is present in every detail of its interiors and dynamics, yet it all feels natural and sophisticated.

  • The community-focused, free to attend cultural program. I’ve never seen a hotel be so alive at all times!

  • Content is queen. Guests and locals can enjoy a book from the Radical Library (a feast of environment, wellness, activism, race, gender, art, design, literature and architecture titles); listen to a live broadcast at the hotel’s lobby-level radio station, Eaton Radio; or watch a film in the professional screening room.

  • The room: spacious layout, super comfortable bed, nice selection of books, excellent shower, working space, cozy couch, and a record player.

  • No superfluous toiletries, just soap, shampoo and conditioner made with organic botanical ingredients. Bye bye wasteful single servings, welcome conscious travelers (who bring their own stuff).

  • The restaurant is delicious but it would be great to have more plant-based options.
