Exceedingly atmospheric and gorgeously designed, Hemera is a top choice for those who like a bit of chic in their shelter. Rooms and suites have eclectic art covering the walls and handmade walnut furniture used to fantastic effect. There's a superb restaurant attached, and a common-use library that gives every impression of having apparated straight from Hogwarts.
