Métropole

Fodor's Review:

Stepping into this classic hotel, you might think you're boarding the Orient Express. The hotel, built in 1895, exudes belle-epoque style and provides impeccable service. The lobby sets the tone, with its enormously high coffered ceiling, chandeliers, marble, Oriental rugs, and old-fashioned wood-paneled elevator, and the theme is carried through in other public spaces. The rooms, however, are understated and modern. The bar is worth a visit for its Art Nouveau decor, friendly waiters, and excellent drink selection. Pros: good central location; exquisite lobby; free minibar in the rooms. Cons: rooms could use a face-lift.
