Named after the late Lord Mountbatten, last viceroy of India and favorite uncle of Prince Charles, the hotel reflects Mountbatten's life with photos of the estate where he lived, plus some empire-themed furnishings and animal prints and figurines. Rooms are quite small and understated, cooly decorated in neutral tones and rich fabrics. Bathrooms are tiny, but stylish with lashings of Italian marble. Corner suites have the best views of the city, but they don't come cheap.
