Rock Hotel

As famous as the local monkeys, Gibraltar's grand old dame overlooks the botanical gardens and has 86 elegant yet cosy, creamy, wood-floored rooms with fresh flowers, tea/coffee kits, sea views and, for some, private balconies. Tick off gym, pool, welcome drink, writing desks, bathrobes, a sparkling terrace cafe-bar (open to all), winter Sunday roasts and summer barbecues.
