Casa Monica Hotel

This Moorish Revival hotel is easily the best in town, with top-notch rooms and services. Most of the guest quarters are spacious, modern hotel rooms with Iberian-style armoires, wrought-iron headboards, and tapestry drapes. All units have big bathrooms equipped with high-end toiletries and either a large walk-in shower or a tub/shower combination. Much more interesting are the seven "signature suites" installed in the building's two tile-topped towers and fortresslike central turret. Each of these one- to four-bedroom units is unique. One in the turret has a half-round living room with gun-port windows overlooking the historic district, while a three-story town house in one of the towers has a huge whirlpool bathroom on its top floor. The 95 Cordova restaurant has an excellent wine list, great service, and beautiful decor.
