Fodor's Review:

The big neon sign here seems more suitable for a cinema, but once you're inside this family-run hotel you'll be surrounded by quiet elegance. Black walls, gold trim, overstuffed chairs, and glittering chandeliers and sconces make the lobby a modern jewel box. Upstairs, you'll want to opt for a quieter room at the back: these chambers allow you to fully savor the tranquillity of the hotel's sylvan garden terrace. A few steps out the door the chic shops of the Apollolaan start; you're also within walking distance of Museum Square. Pros: atmospheric interior, gorgeous garden terrace, upper-crust neighborhood. Cons: out-of-the-way location, expensive breakfast.
