Yamato, French predreadnoughts, and the battleship hotel question

A playful hotel comparison contrasts luxury, novelty, and Agincourt's Turkish bath.

Question

Which would make the better hotel, a French predreadnought or Yamato?

Short answer

Yamato for luxury, a French predreadnought for novelty, with Agincourt suggested for its Turkish bath.

Notes

Yamato is the preference if the imaginary hotel guest wants luxury. A French predreadnought is the alternative for novelty, illustrated by the comparison with a themed haunted hotel. HMS Agincourt adds a concrete accommodation feature to the joke: a Turkish bath.
