"Done up like an old caravanserai, with stone archways, enormous wood panelled doors, mosaics and faux ruins, this is one chain hotel that has gone to great lengths to blend into the neighbourhood." Full review
Fodor's
"The stone arches, lacey latticework, and bronze ornaments in the reception area help create a distinctly regional atmosphere, as do the old flagstones in the skylit atrium and polished floorboards in the comfortable lounge." Full review
