The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Avenida Palace

"This hotel has a magnificent lounge area, delightful English-style bar and well-maintained, classical -style guestrooms"

"An English-style bar in hard wood and worn leather is famed for its cocktails, and 5 o'clock tea with scones is served by white-coated waiters in the palatial main salon"

"There’s a tiny gym, a wood-panelled bar and a sublime lounge where high tea is served"

"While rooms might feel a little old-fashioned and fussy, most of the hotel's common areas are genuinely breathtaking, and there are plenty of spots in which to relax and soak up the surrounds -- the live music in the lounge is a particularly nice touch"

"The property is smoke-free except in a corner of the lounge"
