Fodor's Expert Review Hotel du Vin

In the Lanes area, this outpost of a snazzy boutique chain has chic, modern rooms. Pampering touches include Egyptian linens and large "monsoon" showers. The bistro restaurant offers classic fare that makes use of local seafood, and the wine list is excellent. The more expensive rooms have luxurious roll-top baths and wonderful sea views. Room prices fluctuate wildly day to day, and are significantly higher in summer than other times of year; check the website for the best rates.
