Housed in a handsome saffron-coloured building dating from 1829, this sumptuous, 46-key property by hotelier Per Lydmar is ideally sited on the harbour, adjacent to the National Museum. A compelling collection of contemporary art – including striking black-and-white photographs – and a buzzy restaurant/bar decorated with books, magazines and bottles do much to atone for its one drawback – the lack of spa or fitness centre.
