True to its name, this whisper-quiet hotel is housed in a magnificent former railway building. The first bricks were laid in 1887 and it served as the railway department headquarters for donkey's years. These days it has plush red Pullman carpets in the suites and corridors long enough to drive a train down. The hotel is managed by Sofitel.

Adelphi
If you like your hotels modern and cutting edge then this boutique establishment fits the bill. The rooms, all with Internet connectivity, are full of burnished metal and modernist furniture, while a top-storey swimming pool juts out over the edge of the building and over the street below. Part of the pool has a glass bottom so it's a veritable thrill to swim in what seems like mid air. There's also a good spa and gym.
