Lauren and Laurita explore the Quirk Hotel in Richmond, Virginia's Arts District. The building was originally one of Richmond's high-end department stores but Katie Ukrop and her husband converted it to a hotel and art gallery. Art from Richmond artists is featured throughout the property including incredible murals in many of the guest rooms. The colorful vibe is perfect for the neighborhood and the hotel also boasts a fantastic rooftop bar with scenic views of the city.
