This traditional hotel is saved from feeling stuffy or dated by a strong sense of class. The rooms are distributed across three Georgian buildings and exude charm, from their hefty Georgian windows to the views of the broad streets below. The fact that the hotel is divided into separate buildings gives it a slightly eccentric feel; finding your room could be a tough proposition after a night on the whiskey. But it's undeniably elegant, the rooms are big and superbly decorated, and the place as a whole has a marvellous quirky spirit - in part because its location near the government buildings make its bar and restaurant hubs of political intrigue.
