I stayed there only once, but thought of it as the only "classy" (as opposed to "touristy") hotel in the area, retaining some of the charm of its jet-set history. I admit to having a knack for hotels where the walls can tell stories.

There was also a pretty fascinating clientele at the time.

P.S.:

For the non-native speakers: what is "a tad trashy in a euro way" exactly?

Do you mean the Grand Old Dames with faded facades and interiors?
