$195; )
Peace is quite posh following a $15-million renovation and greening of this 100-year-old
downtown jewel. A foyer of red Italian glass lighting, flocked Victorian-style wallpaper -
and yes, a peace sign tiled into the floor - leads to comfortable rooms with down comfort-
ers, and an airy, columned restaurant serving all meals. Accommodations off Shattuck are
quietest; cityscape rooms boast bay views.
