City Grand Hotels & Townhouses

The hotels that make a city trip work: location, a good front desk and a bed you want to come back to.

In a city the hotel is a base, so we judge these on the things that matter at nine in the evening: how quickly the travel agent answers, whether the bar is somewhere you would go anyway, and how far the walk is to the places you came for.
