Opened in the 1980s, the three-and-a-half-pearl Royal Plaza Hotel still retains its colored glass mosaics, marble columns, and brass accents, giving it a classic, but dated look. The 117 guest rooms feel slightly more contemporary, thanks to upgrades to furniture and flooring. All rooms have AC, minibars, soft towels, and free Wi-Fi, and some add balconies. The rooftop pool is open during warmer months and has nice views, a sundeck, and occasional events. There are also a snack bar, small gym, and spa. A conference room and computer station are available, and the main restaurant serves a quality breakfast buffet for a fee. The underground parking is a pain, but a large public lot is across the street. Travelers looking for a more historic stay may prefer La Torre del Canonigo in the Old Town.
