This is a very special hotel! The architecture of the Richardson is one of a kind. It’s a unique experience staying here. Location in the north end of Elmwood Village couldn’t be better. Easy parking and walkable to great restaurants, shops and the art gallery. We loved the hotel bar! Special shoutout to the sweetest bartender <3 Will definitely recommend to friends.

It’s just a beautiful property. The architecture is renowned. The hotel was very quiet. I stayed there in 2020 under other ownership and there is a definite difference. I preferred the previous stay which was much more lively and welcoming - so it’s just a different vibe now and that’s okay! Reasonable rate, clean, quiet and like walking around a museum.
