The Bar/Lounge at Welcome Hotel

"Somerset Maugham holed up in one of the tiny crow's-nest rooms at the top, Jean Cocteau lived here while writing Orphée, and Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton used to tie one on in the bar (now nicely renovated) at this waterfront landmark—which remains a comfortable and noteworthy retreat"

"The on-site wine bar spills out onto the quay in warm weather"

"The hotel has a charming wine bar with waterfront seating, and a buffet or in-room continental breakfast is available for a fee, but there's no full-service restaurant"
