Fodor's Expert Review Astra Hotel

Offering the best of old and new, this hotel contains 1920s frescoes of a winegrowers' festival on the ceiling of La Brasserie, the old-fashioned restaurant, as well as a modern annex of guest rooms wired with up-to-the-minute technology. Adjacent to the train station, the congenial family-run place has an outdoor café and coffee bar, both convenient rendezvous points. An underground garage uses an elevator to lower cars from the narrow alley entrance to parking spaces beneath the building.
