This unique residence is a modern reworking of the Great Western Hotel, built in 1844 and reputed to be the oldest surviving railway hotel in the world. The hotel is conveniently located in the city center, providing easy access to all that the city has to offer, yet it has kept the original ambiance of the historic building. The building also contains a chic brasserie, sumptuous bar and meeting amenities.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
