You may be surprised that a hotel of this caliber is both a Best Western and in Hamilton. The handsome building pays an impressive tribute to art deco; its rooms are both spacious and elegant. Add the on-site Italian restaurant and indoor pool, and it's good value. The only downer? The hotel is in the 'burbs, 12km from downtown.
