Opened in 1838, you’ll find this grand old hotel right in the city cen­tre, with the icon­ic pair of bronze sculp­tures (the work of local artist Hans Krull) stand­ing guard out front. The rooms are smart­ly dec­o­rat­ed, and the onsite ”’Queens Gar­den”’ restau­rant serves qual­i­ty French fare at a sur­pris­ing­ly afford­able price. There’s also an Eng­lish gar­den and casi­no.
