The AAA Four Diamond Award-winning Melrose Hotel retains its 1920s charm, but it has all the modern conveniences you’d expect. Bright, spacious rooms boast large bathrooms with marble floors, ceiling fans, flat-screen TVs and iPod docking stations. Wi-Fi is available for a charge, as is a fitness center. But the real reason to stay at the Melrose, aside from location, is the Library Bar on the first floor, where locals settle into wingback chairs to listen to piano music and sip late-night cocktails.
