What guests are saying about Kimpton Cardinal Hotel by IHG.
"This hotel is amazing! Perfect blend of architectural history with modern ambiance and elegance! So cool inside, great staff, massive bathroom suite-amazing amenities and the basement - wow! Have never quite seen another hotel like this. You could never leave and have a great time/ but it is very convenient to all things downtown W-S. Complimentary social hour with vinyls is icing on the cake! Super cool place will definitely be back 🤩"

The staff were so adaptable and genuinely wanted to meet us where we were with our plans. It’s such a cool, historic building if you’re looking for a space with character and charm. They offered so many great options for how to host our lunch — we ended up choosing the 20th floor, which was perfect. Every staff member we interacted with, from Kelsey during the planning to everyone we met during our stay, was amazing. Highly recommend!"
