Twelve keys, cut by hand

Every room has a real brass key on a heavy oxblood tag. Here is who makes them and why we never switched to cards.

Brass room keys on oxblood tags at the locksmith

Our keys are cut by a locksmith two streets away who has been in the same shop for forty years. Each tag is stamped with the room number and the name of the job that room once held.

Guests sometimes ask why we never moved to key cards. The honest answer is that nobody remembers a key card. People remember a key.

Please do take one home

Not the key. But the front desk keeps a box of spare tags, and you are welcome to one.
