165-foot, 14-story Art-Deco hotel originally completed in 1926 as an office building called the Rose Building. Designed by Arthur Paul Hess, it was converted to a hotel in 2012. The facade is clad in buff-colored brick above a 2-story base of white-painted stone with a double-height ground floor. There are two central entrance bays, the west one with a set of glass-and-metal double-doors, and the east one with a revolving door. They are separated by a pilaster with a stylized capital, and covered by a modern stainless-steel canopy angled upward. At each end is a larger, taller bay with glass and metal infill (including a glass door in the west bay), and a metal service door at the far ends. The 2nd floor has five bays of tripartite windows in aluminum framing, with short, slightly-projecting piers between them. The base is capped by a broad stone band course.

The upper floors have five bays of three windows each, divided by narrow brick intermediate piers, with brick spandrels having trios of outlined vertical rectangles. There is a setback above the outer bays at the 7th floor, with the spandrels above this floor's windows being limestone with alternating designs of decorative shields. The middle bays narrow by a window on each side at the 8th floor, and again at the 9th & 10th, where there is another setback. The wall above each window termination is angled. The top floors at the middle bay have wider paired windows in the center, flanked by narrow paired windows angled shallowly back.

The west elevation is clad in plain, parged brick and has two bays of triple-windows flanking a bay of double-windows on the lower floors, with additional windows bays on the upper floors. The hotel contains 173 guest rooms.
