Food and Drink Options

Feeling peckish after a late-night encore? The Lion & Key Hotel offers 24/7 room service to satisfy your cravings anytime. While there isn’t an on-site restaurant, you'll find plenty of casual dining options within walking distance. Breakfast is available too — ideal if you’ve had a late night.

Nightlife Options

What People Say
