Flame Towers View Hotel

Built into the slope beneath the towers, so nearly every room looks down over the bay rather than into another building. The higher the floor number, the better the angle.

The spa is the reason to choose this one: a real hammam with a scrub and soap massage, a sauna, and a heated indoor pool that stays open until ten. Book the hammam at reception the day before, not on the day.

It is a fifteen-minute downhill walk to the Old City and a hard fifteen back up, so most guests take the four-manat taxi one way. The hotel shuttle to the airport needs twenty-four hours’ notice.
