If you're the type who wants to party like a rock star, or just come off like you do, this edgy-but-elegant hotel is for you. The soaring triangular atrium off the lobby is where an international roster of DJs spin in the sofa-filled Church Lounge, and the lower level has a 100-seat theater for private movie screenings. Rooms are smallish, but have phones and TVs in the bathrooms, Bose Sound Docks and, if you request one, a live goldfish to keep you company. Some suites look out over the lounge, which can feel like opening the door into a round-the-clock party, but that's cool with most of the people who stay here. If you're into gadgets, book an "iStudio," tricked out with Apple's latest goodies, including G5 computers with film-, photo- and sound-editing software.
