Floorboards creak and vintage posters adorn the lobby walls at this classic, 23-room hotel, built in 1903 and run by the same family since 1919 (that's four generations). The atmosphere is deliciously old-fashioned, from the real oak parquet and wildly ornate wallpapers to the hefty antique furniture. No lift.
