"This deeply romantic four-star hotel is in a sixteenth-century building set around a deliciously hidden courtyard. At this level, it’s well worth paying the 20 percent premium."

"Is it really as ritzy as the name would imply? That's a definite yes—after all, the adjective itself derives from this 161-room hotel."
