Scene
Upscale hotel set in historic building with stylish, modern interiors
Occupying a stately and ornate 19th-century building, this historic upscale hotel has ties to the old National Theater that once neighbored the property (legends swirl about underground tunnels linking the two). Interiors mix this historic ambience with a more contemporary feel, melding a modern aesthetic, courtesy of sleek and stylish furniture, with impressive architectural details like elegant columns, arches, vaulted ceilings, and intricate decorative molding. A grand Carrara marble staircase is lined in plush red carpet and illuminated by atmospheric wrought-iron lamps. The breakfast room features a colorful glass ceiling. The clientele here is mainly composed of leisure travelers on a city break, but it's a fine choice for business travelers as well.
