The beloved if down-at-the-heels former Mallory Hotel has emerged from a top-to-bottom transformation with a visage—inspired by Hollywood's Golden Age—worthy of the hotel's new moniker. In the lobby, a dramatic video wall displays a rotating cycle of vintage film stills, while the halls of each floor and the walls of rooms are lined with luminous black-and-white prints paying homage to fabled auteurs (Hitchcock is on two, Fellini and Bergman are on six). The Driftwood Room bar, a noirish local legend, remains largely preserved in its original cedar-paneled skin and still draws a hip crowd. In the 130 guest rooms are theatrical green floor-to-ceiling draperies, buttery leatherette headboards, Art Deco Lucite lamps that feel elegant without going over the top, and HDTV flat-panel televisions. Forgo the disappointing restaurant, Gracie's, in favor of the nearby Pearl District's choice of notable tables.
