This hotel’s lobby and bar are full of dark wood and leather club sofas – it's not exactly Victorian, but the thought is there. Some rooms are equipped with mahogany furniture, some with pale-blue painted wood. The hotel is in a quiet location away from the seafront, and features a rooftop pool, plus a small indoor pool on the 7th floor.
