Udaipur is beautiful. I stayed in the Lake Pichola hotel which was in no way luxurious but had its own charm. Seems to have been done up now…https://www.lakepicholahotel.in

Asia Gardens spa hotel - about 30 miles form Alicante. 7 swimming pools all different styles, it's laid out like an Asian oasis with lakes and tropical gardens, little paths between the individual buildings and gardens. The spa was also out of this world. I don't like long haul flights so this was a shortcut to Thai spa!

Oooooh, thats about 30 mins away from where I live. Going to check it out, thank you.

I’m planning a trip and I’m curious about people’s experiences with hotels. What’s the best hotel you’ve ever stayed out and what made it stand out? Whether it’s the service, location, amenities, or something else, I’d love to hear your top recommendations!

Hotel Indigo, Bath.

Initially they put us in a room with only a shower, but when I said I'd been looking forward to a bath they moved us to a different room, and the bath was amazing. Comfy armchairs in the rooms, complimentary mini bar.

Resident's lounge was very comfortable for spending time with our daughter (who we were visiting while she was at university there).

Breakfasts were very good, and the restaurant quite fancy, but the only thing I can fault them on is not having a vegetarian option at dinner, which was very surprising. We all eat meat, but it's nice to have the choice.

Location is right in between the train station and the city centre, so could hardly be better.

Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental in Abu Dhabi. Fab rooms, wonderful staff

Overwater bungalow at the Four Seasons, Bora Bora.

Absolutely incredible - amazing location, fantastic facilities, lovely staff. Seriously out of this world. Pricey but worth it.

Think I’m on the wrong thread, £2k a night some of these places. I pay that for a family 10 days in Turkey 😂 how the other half live!

The Peninsula, Tokyo, personally. Also inspected some absolute blinding beauties around Japan - one of the most amazing was an 800 year old inn in Kyoto, think beautiful pine, rooms with carved murals, inlaid pearl boxes, food courses that were just stunningly amazing! Another cool one was a private mountain estate with individual log cabins that came with their own private butlers and grounds, with food freshly made from the ingredients grown on the estate's land and from their chickens etc. Ahhh, Japan has some truly stunning places.

I'm glad someone mentioned El Remanso in Costa Rica, that's a beautiful property. Belmond properties are fabulous, such amazing service - I like it when people learn and remember your name. The top ones would be Das Cataratas at Iguacu and Palacio Nazarenas in Cusco. A lot of my favourites are made special for their location and the journey to reach them - tambopata research centre, Corcovado wilderness lodge, tranquilo bay, inkaterra Machu Picchu pueblo, Patagonia camp...

Viroth’s in Siem Reap, ambiance, atmosphere,food,style, vintage cars the whole thing was wonderful.

Second this, we were picked up from the airport in a vintage rolls Royce, we’ve stayed in grander and more expensive hotels but Viroth’s staff seemed to guess what we needed before we asked!

Villa Augusta, St Paul-troix-Chateaux, France. Beautiful boutique hotel in a lovely location with fabulous staff and a Michelin star chef.

The Ritz Carlton in Dubai, the Ritz and the Raffles in Singapore, the Shangri La in Sydney and London and the Ikos Andalusia. Due to the exceptional service, the quality of the rooms, the facilities, the food.

The Lenox in Boston. SUCH a vibe ~ made everything personal and homely. Service was insaneeee and I will happily cough up the £££ to go back.

I stayed there in 2011, loved it! Funnily enough I was trying to remember the name of it yesterday and here you appear!

I've stayed in a few Oberois in India and they are my favourite hotel brand. Amazing service - once at dinner mentioned how much we liked one dish. Hand written recipe for it under our door the next day. Different Oberoi, at bar, mentioned we were going to Delhi next, barman went and found a member of staff from Delhi to give us tips.

Took my in-laws for their golden wedding anniversary and each oberoi we stayed at decorated their room. One arranged a free photo shoot and printed photos as a gift..

There was a Channel 4 programme on them recently- Grand Indian Hotel.

I second Oberoi Hotels. Service and food is second to none. I commented on the scent of some josticks they’d been burning and they gave me a beautifully wrapped package of them when I left. Heaven.

One in a Harrogate many years ago for a medical conference relating the condition that DS1 has. It was ridiculously lavish and all I could think of was the cost of it.. and how this money could have gone into further research into the condition! We didn't even have to pay for ourselves... I don't know about the other delegates

The Montreux Palace in Montreux. Was a competition win to the Montreux festival. We were in an amazing suite overlooking the lake with a massive balcony and his and her sinks in the bathroom. An amazing hotel! The breakfasts were amazing too!

The Emory in London or Atlantis Dubai. Both amazing attention to detail.

Portmeirion. Magical, even more interesting to explore when day trippers have gone.

Gleneagles, Scotland

Chateau St Martin in Vance, rooms were huge, service second to none and the views across Antibes are spectacular.

St Regis on the Cornice in Abu Dhabi, you get your own Butler, the beach is stunning and nothing is too much trouble. The bedding luxurious and the bathroom is a grand size. We go every January.
