LAUREN: Now, this is my vibe.

LAURITA: This is really cute and you know what?

I think this might be my vibe now too.

LAUREN: No.

No, no, no, no.

Let me have this.

LAURITA: Okay.

But you got ten minutes.

MAN: How are you guys doing?

LAURITA: Hi, how are you?

MAN: Good, good.

Welcome to Quirk Hotel in Richmond.

KATIE: Quirk is a hotel in the arts district of Richmond, Virginia.

So Quirk started off at the turn of the century as a beautiful high-end department store and now it's a hotel with my art gallery attached to it.

The building sort of spoke to us.

It had a soul, it made sense, a Mecca of this neighborhood, a place where people could gather and as we drew up plans and got thinking, we decided that really we should merge the gallery with the hotel and then we sort of filled it in with the art.

That's what sort of gave it its magic.

I think everybody thinks I'm obsessed with pink and maybe I am now, but it was sort of a fluke to be honest.

I mean, I was like, "Maybe we should try this pale pink in a room," and it sort of took over our brand in a good way.

My husband's dream was to be the first rooftop in Richmond and we were.

It's just got a great view of our city.

It feels really special up there.

I think we're really fortunate that Richmond has become an art community because the artists really do give our city personality and make Richmond a much more interesting place to live.

We do have a few rooms that our artists have designed beautiful murals in them, and that was sort of a fun idea.

And then we took it one step further and partnered with the Visual Arts Center has this incredible mentorship program with young girls who, many of them who don't even have a room of their own and it's become a fundraiser for their project and it's been very successful.

LAUREN: Ooh.

LAURITA: Lauren!

LAUREN: This is so cute.

Wow.

Ooh, mom.

Look at the mural on the wall.

LAURITA: I love the colors.

LAUREN: This definitely fits in with the art district that we're in right now.

LAURITA: It does.

LAUREN: I think the mural is beautiful.

LAURITA: I agree.

And this is more your style.

LAUREN: It is.

It gives a like New York vibe.

Like I feel like I'm in the city.

LAURITA: You know what?

I think I'm a little hungry now and I'm ready to eat.

LAUREN: I'll meet you later.

LAURITA: Sounds good.

LAUREN: All right.

LAURITA: All right.

LAUREN: From the rooftop of the Quirk, super cute.

Like you can see the whole city from here.

It's very nice, I'm excited to just chill and relax up here.

It's really cute.

They have a little bar up here and everything, so I'm sure the nighttime you can get nice, great drinks.
