All five buildings in this charming downtown inn date from the early 1900s. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the garden courtyard, as well as four-poster beds. All rooms are smoke-free, and rates include daily continental breakfast.

The high price can limit this to very special occasions, but trust the first-class food, fine wine, and faultless staff to make a memorable visit. It’s decorated like Queen Victoria’s dining room, and each table gets its very own Victoria and Albert as servers. Changing menus offer seven courses of international dishes, including apple-smoked Colorado bison and black bass with couscous. Take advantage of the wine-pairings (a glass with each of the five courses); it’s cheaper and more varied than buying a bottle.

This romantic gem has a 5-star, international menu, which is served by staff dressed as Victoria and Albert.

Polo Park, with its two- and three-bedroom villas, is a real home-away-from-home. It lacks the crowds and tourist frenzy of the mainstream areas.

With two 46-ft (14-m) swans gracing its roof, this hotel is hard to miss. The beach-themed rooms are a little smaller than at its sister hotel, the Dolphin, but Swan guests share some of the facilities and perks of the Dolphin, including a spa.

Thirty-six acres (15 ha) of twisting, turning waterslides and plenty of places to chill out and float in an inner tube make this waterpark a particular favorite among teens and young adults. It’s less themed than Disney waterparks (see Water Parks), smaller than Wet ’n Wild, but, unless the weather is bad, usually pretty crowded.
