Frommer's Review

Formerly known as the Vedruna Palace, this landmark seven-story 19th-century building is a genuine luxurious treat. Furnishings and decor throughout are a lavish amalgam of teak, marble, steel, and glass while the opulent blue-violet guest rooms feature wood marquetry and paneling, custom furnishings, safes, and some of the city's most sumptuous beds. State-of-the-art electronic accessories are in turn complemented by exotically unusual art objects ranging from Turkish kilims to Hindu sculptures, and the immaculate marble tiled bathrooms are roomy and filled with deluxe toiletries and tub/shower combos. If money is no object, book one of the 20 individually designed duplex units. Other pluses include a small second-floor museum of Egyptian antiquities (from the owner's personal collection) and a rooftop swimming pool and garden with panoramic city views.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; outdoor pool; fitness center; sauna; business center; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; private museum

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.
