This is an extraordinary hotel, where each beautiful double room is decorated with a lavish, theatrical flair and an eye for history. Many have four-poster beds, and each has a claw-foot bathtub, antique carved wooden headboard, and period furnishings, including exquisite salvaged pieces. In the Rook's Nest, the hotel's duplex suite, you can relax in an antique bath in the corner of the bedroom or enjoy a magnificent view of The City's historic buildings. The conservatory, with its small patio garden, is a relaxing place to unwind. Great deals are available here in the winter. Pros: beautiful, quirky space; helpful staff. Cons: area is quiet at night and busy during the day.
