“Another sleek, design-led, high-end hostelry with a marvellously central location, this boutique hotel is done out in neutrals, with splashes of bold colour such as the fuchsia-upholstered daybed suspended in the reception area. The bedrooms feature white ostrich leather, crocodile, steel and travertine and gadgets gadgets gadgets; two suites have private gyms, one has its own Turkish bath, others have giant round Jacuzzis. There’s an excellent restaurant too, Le Noir, an intimate black den. Expensive, but fun.”
