Reopened under new ownership in 2008, the spacious, contemporary-meets-traditional guest rooms here vary in shape and style: Choose one with exposed brick, or a fireplace, a cathedral ceiling, or a loft sleeping area.

"This is a crisper, less frivolous version of Hotel Monaco, a tightly run ship that seems more at home in commercial ports."
