This small family hotel used to be a residence of the Belgian cardinal, dating from 1860. Perhaps this explains the heavenly atmosphere. The place has a remarkably ornate interior, with painted ceilings, chandeliers, and a great deal of ornamentation that includes wood carvings and stained-glass windows. Some of this is Art Nouveau, in a "new" wing that was added to the building in 1910 and includes the breakfast room. The guest rooms are somewhat plainer than the public spaces -- with the exception of the Chinese Room -- but they're still comfortably and adequately furnished and tastefully decorated. A small but tolerably devoted staff adds the personal touch.

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.
