Fodor's Expert Review Hotel du Vin

Magdalen St., Exeter, Devon, EX2 4HY, England

This former hospital has been reimagined as a modish hotel with a zippy, happening vibe and add-ons that include a heated indoor-outdoor pool, a fitness room, and spa treatments. Any residual institutional feel has been dispelled by the contemporary decor of the guest rooms, the walled garden, and a pavilion-like bistro-restaurant that offers a superb range of Mediterranean-style dishes. The location isn't auspicious (it's on the edge of the old town by an intersection), but it's only a few minutes' walk from the center.

  • stylish and quirky design
  • great food
  • close to the city center

CONS

  • cheaper rooms are small
