Frommer's Review

At The Heritage, you have the choice of charm and character from the colonial past in the Old Government Building, or contemporary indulgence in the large rooms of the adjacent Heritage Tower. In the tower, I especially like the split-level one-bedroom suites, which have a separate lounge, walk-in wardrobe, air-conditioning, and mezzanine bedroom. The sought-after heritage suites in the OGB also feature mezzanine bedrooms, along with open dining areas, kitchens, and laundry facilities, making them ideal for long stays. The marvelous location puts you close to everything, but I like the Crowne Plaza rooms better.

Facilities: Restaurant; bar; heated indoor lap pool; nearby golf course; well-equipped gym; day spa and salon; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; car rentals; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; on-call doctor/dentist

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.
