Hotel Amigo, a Rocco Forte Hotel

What the classifiers highlight

A 1522 prison became this address, joined to Rocco Forte's collection in 2000 with 154 rooms and suites. Forbes notes one room dressed entirely in scenes from Tintin, another painted with green trees, and seventeenth-century flagstones underfoot near eighteenth-century Flemish tapestries. Original René Magritte prints hang throughout, and Ristorante Bocconi keeps to Italian simplicity.
