Easily the towns plushest digs, this beautiful hotel is built around a courtyard garden filled with water features. Rooms have an old-fashioned sense of Chinese style with oil paintings and textiles hanging seductively from the walls and tea sets in each room. Despite appearing old the building is new but has been filled with treasures found in local homes.
