More of a luxury fitness centre and spa than a hotel - a member of staff once quantified it for us as an 85/15 split in favour of the former - this West Wood-managed venture occupies a beautifully-restored old building in the city centre. The gym is packed with state-of-the-art equipment, while the colonnaded pool is reminiscent of Justinian's Cistern. The 15 rooms upstairs are expectedly lavish, although strangely enough for such an upmarket location some only have small skylights rather than actual windows.
