Hotel de la Ville
19th-century Italianate charm



Behind a vine-covered facade facing the neo-classical Villa Reale, this 70-key lodging exudes the warmth and charm of a grandiose centuries-old private residence and is brimming with antiques and artworks collected throughout generations, including a collection of postcards that depict the hotel in its original form in the 1800s. The rooms are elegantly appointed in period style and benefit from modern conveniences, while the discreet ambience of the American Bar offers sophisticated sipping, perfect pre- or post- dining at the much lauded Derby Grill restaurant.
