Time Out tip: Head to the Hennessy rooftop bar (named for the original architect of the 1930s heritage listed building, not the cognac beloved by hip-hop stars) and try a Honey Trap Cocktail – it's made with honey collected from the hotel's own rooftop hives of Ligurian bees.

"It's a fabulous fit-out, with myriad bars, eateries and smiling, good-looking staff all over the place." Full review
