This four-star hotel is within walking distance of the airport, and boasts a gym, a restaurant and a bar. Its 147 sophisticated rooms all have free toiletries, wifi access and an ensuite shower room. And it's well geared up to accommodate disabled guests - its list of disabled facilities runs to an impressive nine pages.
