Both classy and homely
Our verdict:
Maritim’s glassy façade doesn't exactly blow you away from street level, but wait until you get inside! When you first walk into the extra-plush (with an adjoining piano bar) you know that this hotel is, well, a little bit special. Rooms have a sense of homeliness, perhaps because they’re blessed with that oft-forgotten décor masterstroke: wallpaper. If thoughts of a grandmother’s reading "salon" flood into your mind as they did ours, never fear. The Maritim is all soft pastels, modern, and tastefully done. Unfortunately, some of the double rooms consist of two single beds pushed together. This hotel has a strong business-oriented clientele, attested to by its 550-seat hall and six function rooms. The top floor holds a swimming pool with a view, steam bath and sauna. In addition there is a small gym, conservatory with a patio, beer garden and two restaurants to choose from.
