My favorite hotel, well it was more of a B&B, was in Bath, England. It's called the Oldsfield Hotel, it's an old manor house gutted and rebuilt from the inside, they've kept the old world charm with huge fireplaces but they've updated the cabling and plumbing, what a beautiful experience. It is in the hills of Bath so you have a beautiful view of the ancient city. 10 minute walk into town, absolutely GORGEOUS!
