Hotel Baron, Aleppo
It may have been in decline for the last 60 years, but I am pleased to report that the legendary Hotel Baron still has vintage-suitcase-loads of atmosphere, and is well worth a stay. It may be your last chance as the current owner is unmarried, 55, and has no children or plans for the hotel.... They give you a very good breakfast, the bar is still charming (just tell them to put on Nina Simone and switch off Bryan Adams), and the welcome still warm. The historical, non-renovated rooms still have old furniture and are comfortable and clean.
