The Fitzwilliam Hotel

Take an unbeatable location with sweeping views over the green, add a Michelin-starred restaurant, throw in contemporary design by Terence Conran, and you have a hit on your hands. Conran has a knack for easygoing sophistication, and in the Fitzwilliam he uses clean lines and only a few neutral colors (white, beige, gray) throughout the public rooms and guest rooms. The beauty is in the detail here -- attentive staff, big, comfortable beds, votive candles sparkling everywhere, a bowl of apples by the elevators, well-designed storage. Rooms are done in neutral tones with stripped-down furniture. Thornton's, the hotel restaurant, is very good, or you could try the more casual Citron, or linger over a canapés and mojitos at the Inn on the Green bar.
