“Opulent neo-classical meets modernist oddball art (check out the giant horse statues in the T-Palace bar-restaurant). Rooms and suites have gilt mirrors, marble, faux-Louis XV furniture – slightly silly and frilly, but in a good way. Bathrooms are for wallowing in, with luxurious accessories thrown in. Worth getting up early to bag an outdoor terrace table with killer views at the Tudor Hall restaurant on the top floor, used for lavish buffet breakfasts. Alternatively book a table for alfresco à la carte dinner with views of the illuminated Parthenon.”
