Fodor's Expert Review Mount Royale Hotel

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

This hotel has the feel of a relaxing country house despite being close to the city center in an upscale residential neighborhood. Service is professional and friendly. At the bottom of the traditional English garden you'll find a heated pool (open May–September) and a log cabin with a sauna and hot tub among the flowers, while spa treatments are administered in the former wine cellar. Rooms are spacious, with elegantly understated design; four have walk-in closets and verandas that lead to the garden. The in-house restaurant, Oxo's, serves Modern British and European cuisine.
