Hotel Des Arts
Located in a 1940s-style townhouse, this hotel is right next to the national monument. The clean, uniquely stylish rooms are comfortable, and the hotel is safeguarded by a 24-hour reception and security service. Bedding and towels are included in the nightly rate, and breakfast is offered for an additional charge. This hotel is more suitable for individuals or couples traveling as it is harder to book group or family rooms here.
