With its stained-glass doors and rattling cage-lift, this 1925 hotel is an art nouveau classic – the kind of place Agatha Christie's famous detective Hercule Poirot might stay if he were in town. Rooms have period furniture, marble bathrooms and vintage charm. The roof garden, wisteria-draped courtyard, restaurant and fin-de-siècle cocktail bar with wintertime fireplace are major draws.
Rates plummet in the low season.
