Stay

But on the fifth floor of the property – aptly named Fabulous On Fifth – are five loft-style suites

StayStay

The London West Hollywood, Los Angeles

Only steps away from the famed Sunset Strip, The London West Hollywood merges its quintessential British character – aristocratic touches and bulldog statues – with the allure of Old Hollywood – plush velvet sofas, teal leather and polished marble surfaces. Recently added to the 200-room hotel are 16 luxury vista suites designed by the David Collins Studio, along with five Gate Suites, named after the gates of London’s Hyde Park

StayStay

Alila Jabal Akhdar, Oman

Perched on the side of a cliff in the Hajar Mountains, 2,000 metres above sea level and Alila Jabal Akhdar is certainly in a prime location.

StayStay

Terria Patagonia, Chile

Nestled on the shore of Lake Sarmiento, on the edge of Torres del Paine National Park, it’s hard to distinguish the Tierra Patagonia resort, built entirely from indigenous lenga wood, from the surrounding landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the minimalist rooms and the cavernous restaurant-cum-lounge frame awe-inspiring views of the Paine Massif, while indigenous wildlife such as guanacos and rheas (Patagonian ostriches) stroll past

StayStay

Hotel Bristol, Vienna

Vienna’s Hotel Bristol has always turned heads. A hangout for Europe’s well-heeled elite since its 1892 opening, it’s an emblem of, not only Austria, but also of the dying art of old-world luxury. With a prime location (next door to the glorious State Opera House), this Biedermeier building with Art Deco styling has had its fair share of famous – and infamous – guests coming through the doors.

StayStay

Al Sahel Villa Resort, Abu Dhabi

A hotel complex in a nature reserve seems like it could be one of those novelty UAE ideas, but the Anantara resort, on Sir Bani Yas Island, is very much in the midst of a working wildlife preserve.

StayStay

The bell in the old church lazily clangs to let you know another hour has slipped past in this beautifully tranquil corner of southern France.

StayStay

StayStay

The Leela, New Delhi

New Delhi’s Leela Palace Hotel is located in the city’s calm and uncluttered diplomatic enclave in historic South Delhi.

StayStay

Our advice is to add your name to that of former visitors – Winston Churchill, Grace Kelly, Walt Disney and the Rolling Stones.

StayStay
