You know, this Photo Fakeout is rather heartwarming.

See, the photo on its website gives no indication that the lobby of Kimpton’s is tiny. But these photos — snapped by an zzdtravel reporter just last week (spoiler: D.C. is coming soon!) — show that the lobby is, in fact, teensy. And…that’s okay.

Look. Obviously, Kimpton isn’t going to make a point of spotlightling said teensiness on the Madera’s website. Fine. But Kimpton does make a point of ensuring that the complimentary wine hour, which the boutique hotel company is famous for (we were big fans of the free guest wine receptions at and , to name a couple), still happened despite the space limitations.

And, as you can see, guests don’t seem to mind the size of the lobby when holding a bold cab in their hot little hands.
