Lonely Planet review

Katja Gaskell
Lonely Planet author

This is one of those places that prove first impressions to be entirely misleading. From the outside this hotel appears to be just another white-iced Victorian building, and its name conjures up images of quilted bedspreads, gingham tablecloths, and the stars and stripes.
As soon as you step inside you'll see pale stone, wood floors, vases brimming with sunflowers, and subtle touches of the Orient that create an atmosphere of calm and tranquillity. The lounge is elegant and welcoming with comfy leather sofas, vibrant fabrics and an espresso machine purring in the background. This design continues into the rabbit warren of dark hallways and stairwells where wooden Indian window frames and carved mirrors hang. The luxury doubles all have private balconies, original Asian antiques and individual furnishings such as a carved double bed. In comparison, the standard doubles are significantly smaller and lack the unique design features of their more expensive counterparts. None of the rooms are huge, but the large Victorian sash windows play a clever part in making you think they're larger than they really are.
