WHERE TO STAY
The first of its kind in downtown Lincoln—and Nebraska, for that matter—the 49-room Kindler Hotel is a new independent boutique property from developer Nick Castaneda and his wife, Brooke, a Lincoln native. Named in honor of her father, Ken Kindler, a Nebraska industrial artist, the hotel’s interior design was conceived by Los Angeles–based Ross Vincent Design. A modern interpretation of Art Deco, Vincent’s design incorporates bespoke furniture, fabrics from Holly Hunt, and just enough Pierre Frey to be inviting but not excessive. Enjoy small bites and cocktails at the hotel’s bar, Boitano’s, a collaboration between Castaneda and Olympic champion figure skater and Food Network star Brian Boitano.
