The Jewel Box of Bloomington

The name POSH was born from a family story — a nod to a Navy dentist whose travels taught him that life’s finest experiences lie in the balance of adventure and coming home. “Portside Outbound, Starboard Homebound” once described the elegance of early sea voyages — today, it defines our philosophy of refined travel and warm hospitality. Here in the heart of downtown Bloomington, that spirit lives on. Housed in a historic former bank, POSH on Kirkwood is a modern tribute to timeless design and thoughtful hospitality.
 
From the moment you arrive, you’re wrapped in an atmosphere of layered textures, rich color palettes, and intentional detail—where every corner tells a story. The building’s original vault, once guarding the city’s most cherished possessions, now inspires the way we care for our guests—with reverence, style, and a sense of wonder. Curated interiors, signature moments, and a seamless blend of high fashion and Midwestern charm create an experience that feels both refined and deeply personal. At POSH, luxury isn’t loud—it’s felt. It’s the art of hosting, redefined, redefined. Welcome to POSH on Kirkwood—where history meets high style, and every stay feels like coming home.
