Celtic Royal Hotel

Carved out of a 19th-century grand hotel shell and massively enlarged, this is the blockbuster and leading choice in town. Its uniformed, well-trained staff grew accustomed long ago to groups of visitors pulling in by motor coach to see the famous castle, just a 3-minute walk away. The hotel's current look derives from a 1996 face-lift and radical enlargement of what had become a dowdy and outmoded "grand hotel" built in 1843. Today, most of the antique original vestiges lie within the hotel's lobby, with bedrooms and dining facilities placed within modern, three-story wings that contain all of the conveniences you'd expect from a first-class property. The midsize bedrooms are blandly uncontroversial, outfitted in pastels with comfortable furnishings.

The main restaurant, Brasserie Draco, is a chic setting for a Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. In addition, you can head for the on-site Havana Bistro/Bar, which is much more informal and less expensive, offering an array of freshly cooked local food and a well-stocked bar.
