Frommer's Review

In a superb, restored Art Deco mansion from 1929, replete with delicate enamel work and Tiffany glass, this family-owned hotel is a bit off of the beaten track south of the center. The Deco elements are offset, and given added warmth, by a wealth of Persian rugs, antiques, and chandeliers. Each of the individually styled rooms is a cozy delight of pastel tones, tasteful furnishings, armchairs or sofas, and comfortable beds. The Iserbyt family proprietors take considerable pride in their establishment, as you will find in their attention to detail and their "nothing-is-too-much-trouble" attitude. Breakfast is served in the garden in fine weather, and having the hotel's elegant restaurant Minerva just a few steps away should make a trip to one of the center-city eateries for dinner all but superfluous.

Facilities:
Restaurant (French/Belgian); bar; laundry service; dry cleaning

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
