Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
The Goodwood Park Hotel will appeal to those who favor old-world charm over modern fittings. The hotel was designated a national landmark in 1989 because of its historical significance: built as a social club for the early German community in 1900, the building became the residence for high-ranking Japanese military during World War II, after which it served as a British war crimes court before it was converted in to a hotel.
