Prague
A recent find, this hotel opened in December 2000 with just five guests. It is a renovated former 14thC townhouse just outside the side door of the church on the old town square, right in the heart of the old district, a warren of pedestrianised...

Sharrow Bay
Sharrow Bay stands in a little bay on Ullswater in the Lake District, a conversion of a rather ramshakle country house with a tall flagpole at the top of which flys the Union Jack, a detail which can be off putting to us apologetic Brits. The first...

Italy

Lazio
|
Rome
Recently written up by Herbert Ypma, this modest looking Inn claims to be one of the oldest in Rome, with records of travelers staying here as early as 1467. It is certainly the only hotel in what must be one of the most romantic and historic spots...

Rome
One of a string of grand hotels on the fashionable Via Veneto, this one is on the corner just up from Mussolini’s 30s government ministries and across from the US embassy. Part of the Boscolo Group, this 1920s hotel is now rather over-decorated and...

Vienna
A delightful hotel done up in 50s style - cream walls, brass fittings, parquet flooring in the rooms, pale wallpapers and eccentric-looking staff. Previous guests have included Mozart, Wagner, Liszt and Grieg. The rooms are high ceilinged with those...

Ile-de-France

Paris
The Rives de Notre-Dame is a tiny hotel, on the embankment just by Boulevard St Michel, and it hasn't much in the way of facilities. A genial owner mans the front desk just inside the door, and they serve nothing but breakfast. However, what some of...
