In a grand art nouveau building dating from 1913, the Demetra Art Hotel has plush rooms with oak flooring, richly patterned drapes and duvets, and touches of artwork throughout (reproductions of works from the celebrated Erata Museum). Some rooms can be on the small side, though the top-notch service, stylish bar and restaurant, and great location add to the appeal.
Suites take the design to the next level, with cherry red furniture, and zebra-stripe duvets and small balconies with fine views. Despite the high rack rates, you can often score deals (up to 40% off) on mainstream booking sites.
