RICHMOND, Va.
Destination Hotels announced the addition of soon-to-open Quirk Hotel, A Destination Hotel, in Richmond, Va., to its dynamic urban collection.
The locally owned 71-key hotel, located in downtown Richmond at 201 West Broad Street and Jefferson Street in the historic J.B. Mosby & Co building, has undergone a comprehensive transformation to become an independent luxury lifestyle hotel under Destination management. Opening in time to coincide with Richmond acting as host city for the major cycling event, World Road Cycling Championships (Worlds) in late-September 2015, the hotel is an extension of the beloved Quirk art gallery on Broad Street in the heart of Richmond’s Arts District, which features exhibitions of “approachable” work by both established and emerging local artists.
Quirk Hotel was originally the luxury department store, J.B. Mosby & Co, constructed in 1916 in the heart of The Broad Street Commercial Historic District, home to a well-preserved collection of turn-of-the-century commercial buildings. Quirk Hotel will keep architectural elements intact from the historic building, including the main floor’s segmental arches, groin vault ceiling and the ornamental ironwork staircase.
The culinary experience at Quirk Hotel will focus on artisan cuisine, sourced locally with an emphasis on regional culinary traditions. The Quirk Hotel bar will showcase modern adaptations of classic cocktails, small batch spirits and regional craft beers.
Quirk Hotel will also feature a fitness center, 2,000 square feet of unique function space and other amenities.
