Frommer's Review

This superb hotel stands behind a pair of mock-fortified towers in an enviable 19th-century neighborhood filled with elegant shops and apartment buildings. Despite its relative modernity (it dates from 1952), it evokes an old-world sense of charm, partly because of the attentive staff, and partly because of the flowers, antiques, and 1950s-era accessories that fill the public rooms. Celebrity guests have been coming for decades and the Beatles stayed here -- in the master suite -- after their summer concert in 1965. The more standard rooms are solidly traditional and quiet, with some set aside for nonsmokers. The soundproof rooms range from midsize to spacious, and have comfortable beds and mostly wood furnishings. Bathrooms are well equipped, with dual basins, tub/shower combos, and heat lamps.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; salon; room service (7am-11pm); babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; currency exchange
