I love hotels too…

The best I’ve ever stayed in is probably hotel Torridon in Scotland
the view and food at The 3 chimneys on Skye were good
I used to like One Aldwych but haven’t been for ages

On my list are The Savoy & Claridges

Baros, Maldives

Have travelled a lot, but my fave is the Hilton on Lake Como. Only a 4 Star, but has a rooftop infinity pool and bar with views of the mountains.

The Wynn, Las Vegas.
The Fairmont, St Andrews
Claridges, London
The Royal Horse Guards, London

The Grove, Narberth. Understated and relaxed.

tpilets that wash and blow dry your bum. Nuff said.

The Witchery in Edinburgh, Scotland. We stayed in the Library Suite (which I loved as a writer) which even included a book case where the door turned into the bathroom on the other side!

Everything from the breakfast to the room itself was incredible. Matt Groening and Kate Moss has also once stayed in the room which was cool.

Anywhere with soundproofed rooms.

I find I always sleep very well in a Best Western for that reason. Unfortunately they're a bit characterless, but I'm willing to sacrifice that for a good night's kip.

Villa Cora in Florence. Fanciest hotel I've ever stayed in. It has a main hotel building and then a separate spa building and a separate restaurant that you can access through underground tunnels so it didn't matter if it was cold or raining.

Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica. So cool and the service was fantastic.

Fortaleza do Guincho in Portugal.
Parador in Cardona, Spain

Hotel du cap, french riviera. For a work trip. It was the most beautiful hotel and grounds I have ever seen. The atmosphere and everything about it was pure luxury, above anything I have ever experienced before or since. Its like a palace and you feel like a princess being there.

The Shangri La in Singapore is a favourite, but only the Garden Wing rooms with big balconies overlooking the gardens. Not the newer wing rooms with no balconies they once tried to fob us off with!

Raffles in Singapore. So luxurious, beautiful and the service is perfect.

VoodooQualities · 24/08/2025 20:45

Neemrana Fort Palace, in Rajasthan - mainly because my husband proposed to me there but also it's just this amazing palace on a hillside, total luxury Indian style. And it was an absolute bargain too at £50 a night (2006)! Bet it's rather more than that these days.

I must be really picky as of the 100s of hotels I’ve stayed at nothing jumps to mind to want me to go back to it again, including some of the ones mentioned here.
fairmont whistler - wouldn’t go back. I’m a diamond all Accor member and got upgrades etc however found the hotel overly crowded, it’s pet friendly and felt a bit like a zoo where dogs were barking from all directions. Didn’t feel luxurious in any shape or form.
I stayed at four seasons whistler too and found it much better- rooms huge, calm hotel, felt really nice but by no means what I’d call outstanding.
the crazy beer oxfordshire- found it pretty average and frankly, a little sleazy- felt like the kind of place where wealthy men bring their mistresses.
Giraffe Manor and Raffles and marina bay (both in Singapore) are on my to do list - hopefully in the next couple of years or so.

The Hamilton Princess in Bermuda, it was (maybe still is) painted pastel pink and was walking distance to Front Street, lovely memories

mondaytosunday · 24/08/2025 20:36

La Maison aux Quat’Saisons. My soon to be DH took me there for my 40th. It was on another level. We had a two level suite, huge, outside patio. The level of service was amazing. The food was incredible. An unforgettable experience.

The lake palace hotel in Udaipur. I think it was featured in Octopussy. Regardless, it was amazing.

zeddybrek · 24/08/2025 20:30

Grand Tremezzo Palace, Lake Como.

Right across the lake from George Clooneys villa and has a floating swimming pool right on the lake.
Beautiful rich history and felt like you were in another world. I'll never stay anywhere so beautiful again.

BlueEyedBogWitch · 24/08/2025 20:29

Oh, and Monachyle Mhor in Balqhuidder.

BlueEyedBogWitch · 24/08/2025 20:28

Four Seasons, Punta Mica.
One Aldwych, London.
Cobbler’s Cove, Barbados.
The Fife Arms, Braemar.

Cairngorm Hotel in Aviemore. I loved it there. So welcoming. Perfect location.

The breakfast was gorgeous, proper cloth napkins, attentive waiter, wee swirls of butter on a silver dish.

Room was cute. Bed so comfortable.

Not a luxury luxury hotel, but it was so welcoming and comfortable and I was so happy there!

The Langham , London
Jumeriah beach , Dubai
