Built in 1881, the classic white stone façade hides a revitalized modern interior. Unframed oil paintings and intensely colorful sculptures punctuate the uncluttered lobby, crowned by a fountain constructed of broken tiles and glass. Pop music plays in the background, and a younger-than-average clientele is attracted to an upscale environment without the chintz of some more traditional hotels. Amenity highlights: The hotel’s breakfast room serves a hot-and-cold buffet, including the chef’s signature apple pie. The Asian-inspired bar draws a stylish crowd for cocktails and light fare. Wireless Internet access (surcharge) is available in the public areas.

This five-story hotel has 104 guestrooms with limed-oak furnishings. Tall windows with floor-to-ceiling curtains provide views of the sea, gardens, city, or nearby buildings. Closets have mirrored sliding doors, and two armchairs flank small round coffee tables. Tiled bathrooms include shower-tub combinations, hairdryers, overhead spotlights, and dual-voltage shaver outlets. Other features include dial-up Internet access, minibars, and pay movies. On request, a complimentary small basket of sweets welcomes guests.
