If, hypothetically speaking, we did meet our soul mate and lived happily ever after, we'd probably book the Junior Suite at the Hotel Amadeus. It costs a bit more than we'd normally spend. For your extra euros, however, you can count on a euphonic experience and an in-room Jacuzzi.
The hotel, an old concert hall during the 18th century, hosts a concert about every month. Well-known artists and musicians who pass through the city often book here, most likely for its soundproof practice rooms, free-for-all instruments, and classical music library.
Pianos, hanging violins, and framed sheet music decorate the main common room. Every room is named after a different composer and elegantly decorated with personal touches such as fresh flowers, Oriental rugs, antique furniture, tasteful art, and even a piano in the superior room.
Classical music plays on the radio when you enter. Charming petite French windows open their shutters to the narrow Santa Cruz streets below.
Bathrooms have small sinks, good showerheads, robes, and shaving mirrors. Our favorite rooms were upstairs in the attic-terrace via a glass elevator with direct access to the Amadeus's posh sun deck. With a little extra money, you can have a forte view and piano privacy.
