Safety & Accessibility
There’s nothing more important than safety. At O.Henry Hotel, we have 24/7 staff to assist you with any request or concern. Our guestrooms have in-room safes to store any personal items. We also have accessible rooms, entrances and social spaces. Learn more about our amenities and accessible rooms.
Our rooms are expertly cleaned and are sanitary. We eliminated the biggest sanitation concerns that most people have with hotels. We don’t have the suspect shower curtain or bed spread. Instead, our glass-enclosed shower and separate tub offer superior sanitation. Learn more.
Guestrooms
You are in for a great night’s sleep. Our magi bedding starts with a supremely comfortable mattress. Then we added four plush, down-like sleeping pillows, wrapped it all up with sumptuous, Egyptian combed-cotton, Italian-woven sheets and pillowcases and topped it off with a hypoallergenic, fiberfill blanket and a chocolate brown-colored damask coverlet. Breathe a breath of fresh air all night long with our extraordinary air quality — we put over 40 cubic feet per minute of triple filtered outside air into each guestroom 24/7/365. The double walls between guestrooms creates the noise-cancelling “do not disturb” environment so you can wake rested and ready for the next day.

Creative Workspaces
Taking advantage of a spare moment to check your email and catch up on some work is the best way to fight the pile up when you return. Finding the perfect spot to nestle down and get to work can be another issue. Our social lobby or cloister garden are great places to set up shop if you thrive in a community environment but still want to be at a safe distance. The lower level lobby and business workstations on each floor are a great place for a change of scenery, but with a little less traffic. You can spread out and focus without any distractions in your room with the large custom designed desk. O.Henry Hotel also has flexible meeting space if there is a need for a private conference or meeting.
