A Lilliputian lobby belies the variety to be found within this European-style hotel. Standard rooms are on the petite side, so if you aren’t traveling light, consider upgrading to a Penthouse suite to enjoy an in-room fireplace and whirlpool tub. Either way, you’ll revel in cozy red-and-gold rooms with classy touches such as damask duvets and Georgian-style chairs. A friendly staff aims to delight, taking care of little pleasures, from leaving fresh flowers on the desk to including chocolates with nightly turndown service.
