Editorial review
This historic 1912 hotel has an incredible location near several of the city's attractions. The restored public spaces have a lot of character and the rooms are beautiful, but small. The staff is top-notch and you can hardly notice them. The restaurant also received praise. There's a full-service Spa by Clarins and a casino in the hotel next door.
