The words “boutique”, “elegant”, and “luxury” are not common terms associated with this working-class riverfront town in southern Indiana. However with the “permanent docking” of Casino Aztar in Evansville the need for a more upscale place to sleep made sense.

There are other fine hotels across the country that offer fantastic showers, beautiful bars, and top-notch furnishings.
