Frommer's Review
This highly desirable property is housed in three cunningly converted adjoining buildings dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The elaborate architectural details of that era are in abundant evidence inside, with high ceilings and richly carved capitals and moldings. Many rooms have original brick walls and all are decorated in simple, contemporary fashion; slate floors in the bathrooms, deluxe bedding, and spotlight lighting. Many bathrooms feature disc-shaped rain-shower nozzles in the showers. The elaborate Rainspa incorporates a hammam -- a traditional Middle-Eastern steam bath -- in addition to offering massage, microdermabrasion, and body wraps. The hotel houses an acclaimed restaurant, Aix Cuisine du Terroir, and the Suite 701 bar, where a complimentary afternoon wine-and-cheese party is held for guests and the cinq-à-sept (5-to-7) after-work crowd gathers in the evenings.

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.
