Owner Norbert Rademacher, a veteran of New York's Waldorf-Astoria, and his interior-designer wife Edeltraud have skillfully combined two elegant city mansions into a unique, antiques-filled lodging. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's illustrations for his 1943 French children's classic Le Petit Prince charmingly adorn the rooms. The hotel's restaurant is worthy of your attention whether you are staying as a guest or not. Pros: friendly and welcoming, some rooms have wood-burning fireplaces, most bathrooms have whirlpool tubs. Cons: rooms in one of the hotel's two buildings are only accessible via stairs.
