Having hosted famous musicians, politicians and even royalty, this is arguably the most lauded hotel in the country. A grand exterior gives way to Art Noveau interiors housing an ESPA spa, pool, hammam, Viennese café, the Marconi Restaurant serving national cuisine, a swish cocktail bar with outdoor seating and 206 bedrooms offering Elemis toiletries. Built right at the turn of the 20th century, its public areas exude the kind of opulence that fits the hotel’s location – right beside the Presidential Palace. Upgrade to a suite for a premium experience, including round the clock butler service, antique furnishings and glittering chandeliers adorning the ceilings.
