Fodor's Expert Review Balmoral Hotel

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Contemporary touches mixed with antique pieces, boldly patterned wallpapers, and rich colors characterize these three Victorian houses knocked together to create a boutique hotel. The bedrooms have traditional furnishings in mahogany and walnut, and some have oak four-poster beds. It's a popular place for "hen parties" (bachelorette parties), which may or may not appeal to you.
