To ask where the best hotel you've ever stayed in was

The Conrad in New York - amazing place, we loved it there.

Bovey Castle on Dartmoor.

Burgh Island hotel.

I still have really happy memories of the Butterfly Hotel in Peterborough at the end of the rowing course. We were supposed to be camping at the regatta, I was tired, cold and miserable after our race, and spunked £40 on a room. It was clean with a double bed and a bathroom. Woke up to a view of the course and coffee in bed. I do love hotels.

I really loved No 15 Pulteney Street in Bath. Quirky and very very comfortable.

Is that the place with the double Decker bus in the grounds?

Hotel Belmar Monteverde Costa Rica, hot towels to refresh when we arrived, glass of Bucks Fizz/mimosa type crisp and fresh. Glad sided bathrooms overlooking forest. Lovely staff and fab wildlife tours.

Best Bed: Westin Grand Berlin. Fabulous Foyer, walk to all of Berlin sights.

Decumani Hotel de Charmer Naples ,the most fabulous breakfast room ever and fab pasties!!

Grotto Bay hotel, Bermuda.
Had its own private beach, pool and caves that you could swim in.
Staff were brilliant, food brilliant and the rum swizzles....
Hardlly any brits there at all, so no people getting up to put towels on sun beds at 6am, no football shirts, pure bliss.

@Downplayit it’s an ex cinema with a Hollywood style staircase to bar and downstairs has a 600 seater venue for gigs and comedy - thoroughly recommend it and its not mental money at all either- we are off again at new year .

Crazy Bear just outside Oxford - like a pp, I was really young when we went but it was so quirky and I loved it.

The Fortress in Galle (Sri Lanka) was like an oasis after a long flight and a long transfer.

Mena House in Giza. Beautiful, perfect service, and a close up view of the Pyramids from our room.

Oops double post!

Y Fan in Caerphilly, Wales. It's a beautiful restored manor house with lovely rooms, the owners are really friendly people. Wonderful breakfasts.

I also loved the Hotel Eberle in Bozen, South Tyrol - amazing views down into the valley and across to the mountains, with a cable car passing overhead. We sat out on the terrace one night and watched an alpine thunderstorm. Sadly the hotel was half demolished by a landslide, thankfully it was shut because of Corona so nobody killed. I don't know if they will ever be able to reopen.

@Downplayit that’s why I always give mine as The Rival in Stockholm - owned by Benny from Abba , it’s just a fantastic bigger boutique hotel with a gorgeous atmospheric bar, beautiful restaurant and separate cafe , truly lovely staff and a fantastic breakfast and a metro 2 minutes walk away - we’ve been 6 times - rooms are super cosy and ‘kind of ‘ Abba themed but in a very tasteful way .

Hotel Irma in Merano, northern Italy.
5* but family owned and run, very friendly and personal service, spa treatments, several pools with more loungers than guests.
Amazing views of the mountains.
Superb food with best breakfasts ever served in the top floor, glass walled and roofed dining room. (Or on the surrounding terrace, if you prefer. ) With whole proscuitto hams you slice yourself, creamy overnight oats/bircher muesli, pastries and huge selection of cooked items.
So relaxed and relaxing. And just a 10 minute walk down to the very pretty town of Merano/Meran with stylish shops, cafés and restaurants.

Hotel Adlon Berlin
The Beach Negombo
Kempinski Frankfurt Gravenbruch
Victor's Hotel Perl-Nennig

Ovolo Woolloomooloo in Sydney - amazing location on the water just next to the botanic gardens and a short walk through to the opera house. Interesting old wharf building, modern rooms.

It was a bit noisy with a wedding party going on right below us, not super late but I was with a young ds who couldn't sleep, so they upgraded us to a gigantic harbour view room on the other side of the building for the rest of our stay.

The Spirit of Adventure. Fabulous service with an ever changing scenery from your balcony.

Lazy Fish hostel in the Marlborough Sounds, NZ. More like a self-catering boutique hotel. Only accessible by boat. No neighbours. Penguins underneath. With the exchange rate it was £6 each per night.

Nsolo Bush Camp, South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. Rustic but v comfortable. Impeccable service. ££££.

I'm all about the remote 😁 but with a comfy bed, hot showers and a good dinner.

The Carlyle in New York
Shangri La Rasa Ria in Borneo
Mandarin Oriental in Kuala Lumpur
The Fortress in Galle in Sri Lanka
All before children I might add 🙈

Palazzo Roselli Cecconi in Florence. Entrance next to a perfume shop, smelled amazing and inside was so beautiful. Staff were lovely, breakfast on the roof terrace - amazing.

The Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi staying in the Heritage Wing. It was just incredible and I found it a struggle to drag myself out of my room as I was so in love with it. It’s French colonial style and has been a Hanoi landmark since 1901. It even has a bomb shelter that Jane Fonda used to hide during the Vietnam War. Incredible history, service, food, style, location, everything! Sofitel is my favourite hotel brand anyway but the Legend Metropole blew all the others out of the water (and I’ve stayed in Sofitels all over the world from Auckland to Philadelphia).

Cotton House, Mustique
The Venetian, Las Vegas
The Mark, New York

That’s where we spent our honeymoon!

For me it’s The Phoenicia in Valletta. Beautiful retro hotel with fabulous gardens and a two minute walk into the city.

Anywhere with soundproofed rooms.

Gleneagles - impeccable service!

Portmeirion in North wales is really special but i recommend staying in a village room or suite. Eat at the hotel for breakfast but the Castell bistro for dinner. It's magical in the evenings when the day visitors have left.

Lough Eske Castle in Donegal. Beautiful location, secluded & quiet. The rooms are stunning, service very friendly and kind. We ate at the Bar Restaurant but there’s a swankier one in the hotel if you’d prefer. The breakfast was outstanding. It also has a Spa.
