With 14 luxurious rooms, this former government guesthouse has a superb location on a peninsula beside the Topa Wewa, right next to the Heritage ruins (two rooms have ruins in their back terrace). The highlights are the unbeatable lake views, an excellent restaurant and a classy mix of historic heritage and modern design.
Queen Elizabeth II stayed in the suite room during her 1954 stopover (the hotel, a former British government Circuit House, was rebuilt specifically for her visit) and guests can soak in her golden bathtub. Online discounts of up to 40% are common.
