This grand dame, a local landmark for a century, hasn't changed much since becoming a Hilton. You'll have to take a EUR 12 taxi ride over some rough-looking roads to reach this oasis of luxury and comfort, set in a private tropical garden at the edge of the bay. A stroll around the grounds reveals such relics as an ancient Greek temple at the water's edge. Large rooms are individually furnished, the nicest with an art-nouveau flavor. Spacious public rooms unfold onto a terrace and restaurant. Pros: Secluded setting, historic building, lots of style. Cons: Noise and fumes from nearby marina, service is hit or miss.
