Fodor's Expert Review Le Regina

This boutique, luxury establishment is an oasis within the busy capital. With a superb location at the north end of the Old Town, the hotel is a remodeled 18th-century palace that's rich in history, including a stint as the quarters of the U.S. Embassy in the 1950s. Rooms are spacious and serene, but the nicest suites are the "deluxe" category, which include private gardens or terraces; the fun and fashionable, black-and-white penthouse suite (number 303) is stunning. Nice touches include complimentary Internet access—uncommon in this class of hotel—and an umbrella in every closet. However, the sun always shines in Le Regina.
