Expect superb service at this very fine hotel, spread over 8 hectares of stunning tropical gardens. The West End dates to 1887, when it was established as a base for British officers, and it still oozes colonial-era class. Some of the city's best dining options lie within, include the Blue Ginger (Vietnamese cuisine) and the Masala Klub (Indian).
