Fairlane Hotel
DOWNTOWN · 401 UNION STREET · A 1970s BANK, REIMAGINED
Our verdict
Downtown's most charming small hotel: a 1970s bank turned mid-century boutique, two blocks from Broadway.
The Fairlane opened in 2018 in a former 1970s bank building and leans into it beautifully, with terrazzo, travertine, original wood panelling and retro colour. With just over 80 rooms, it's intimate and quiet for a hotel this close to Broadway. There's no pool or spa, but booking through us takes 18% off the best available rate.

The atmosphere
“A retro jewel box: terrazzo, travertine and green polka-dot chairs.”
The Fairlane celebrates the 1960s and '70s, from the mid-century facade to the original wood panelling and brass details. It feels warm, witty and well cared for.
With so few rooms, it's calm and personal. Guests often say how quiet it is for a hotel two blocks from Broadway.
