However, it doesn't just rest on its design laurels. The staff are friendly and the breakfast lavish. Everything from camembert to cheesecake via scrambled eggs with freshly chopped parsley.
The rooms are well equipped, with flat screen TVs, free internet connections, coffee making stuff, hairdryer, comfy beds, albeit twins :( , and powerful showers.
Look out for rates offers on Expedia or Travelocity: we paid £90 a night for 3 nights; not bad for a 4* hotel right in the middle of everything. Weekend rack rate is about 190 euro.
The external design. The scrummy breakfasts.
