Offering a quiet location close to the Ascension Cathedral – with balcony views from some rooms – this grand, pale-yellow hotel looks historic but was actually built in 2016 and styled on an 18th-century palace, complete with chandeliers and decorative features. There's a karaoke room and restaurant on the ground floor.
