For some serious joie de vivre, book yourself in at this charming little hotel in George’s historical York Street. It’s pure African elegance and comfort mixed with some French influences, such as the miniature Eiffel Tower at the gate. It’s a hidden gem of a place, extending deep into the propery, so traffic noise is not worrisome at all. The garden is lush, dotted with quirky ornaments, and a roughly 200-year-old fig tree. All staff speak French and each room sports a jacuzzi.
