The name, Quirk, is misleading. There’s nothing peculiar or eccentric about this new hotel in Charlottesville, Virginia. Rather, it is a highly anticipated high-end addition to the city’s limited hospitality options, and that’s instantly apparent upon entering its towering new white-brick structure along West Main Street.
Set back slightly from the historic houses immediately adjacent to it, the long lobby and reception area—“a living room for the city,” according to Danny MacNelly, partner at ARCHITECTUREFIRM, the hotel’s designer—serves as a bright and cheery procession leading to the other public spaces: a restaurant and ballrooms to the left and, straight ahead, a bar, lounge, and gift shop. The building extends through the entire block, which descends to the north, where a lower-level art gallery, accessed by stairs coming down from the shop, opens onto Commerce Street on the opposite side.
