I'd vote for PH Vienna or possibly Paris, but their recent reviews are off putting and IME repeat guests have always been treated better. Note that in Paris TSUs confirm a junior ("Park") suite, really one room with somewhat of a sitting ares (smaller if there's an old fireplace) and a nice bathroom.
Look at Small Luxury Hotels, but they tend to be in the countryside, require a rental car, and are not close to major airports. Don't expect much for Glob benefits in these properties.
