Named after a historic convict ship, this boutique hotel's spotlessly clean rooms are cleverly constructed from sea containers. Standard 'cabins' are compact, but stylish and efficiently designed; state rooms are bigger. Top-end toiletries, a breezy ambience and complimentary late-afternoon wine and snacks reinforce the centrally located Hougoumont's refreshing approach to accommodation. Service from the multinational team is relaxed but professional.
