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.

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.
