The canals define this city; everything is in line with water and cobblestones. Plenty of choices face travelers to this northern outpost, full of ancient wealth from the days of the West Indies Trading Company.
The Canal House hotel is one of many boutique options in a city known for its modernism; every townhouse reveals interiors that are elegant, whether upper or middle class. In between a number of these is the Canal, bathed in black and the perfect place for a clandestine meeting. Maybe an overnight one.
You wouldn't hang out in its sleek, small bar area; but you could. You wouldn't linger in its gorgeous dining room after breakfast; but you could. And you wouldn't want to take the stairs in this maze-like property (and you couldn't). The rooms are the crowning jewel, though; magazine quality, understated, stylized, and appointed with great furniture and amenities. Including the bath products.
Consider the Canal the next time you're in town and need private space.
The Basics: Canal House
Be Advised: Not cheap, and not directly in the center of town -- but better. A quiet off-street yields better relaxation; and the city balances elegant and dirty well. (This property lands in the former.)
