From a distance, this Embassy District Four Seasons tower looks like a robot constructed from white Lego pieces, but within its 297 guest rooms, nineteenth-century-style Orientalist art mixes with cutting-edge touches. Among the benefits of staying at this five-star hotel are efficient concierges, sink basins inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and balconies with views of the Ottoman architectural masterpiece al-Tikeyya as-Suleimaniya. A modern Italian restaurant and an ornate Syrian restaurant specializing in Aleppo cuisine draw a well-heeled, cigar-chomping Damascene elite. A spa is set to open later this year.
When to go: Late spring and early fall, for comfortably warm sightseeing.
Which room to book: A deluxe room facing the National Museum and al-Tikeyya as-Suleimaniya (doubles, $265–$325).
