Eaton is a new hotel in town and I love it for many of the spaces, vibe and design. It has a coffee shop on the first floor which is a great place to work. A speakeasy called Allegory on the main floor which is great for a craft cocktail in the evening. A beautiful rooftop bar / restaurant (serving tacos and more) with a beautiful terrace when the weather is nice and a restaurant, American Son, on the ground floor which I have yet to try.
