To ask what is the best hotel you’ve stayed in?

The Fairmont Singapore is my favourite, but I’ve also stayed in a Holiday Inn in Singapore (with free upgrade) and the service at both has been second to none (as has the air con!!).

Hyatt, Hua Hin. Rooms were nice but the pool was AWESOME!

In a previous job I stayed at some amazing hotels for work:

Burj al Arab, Dubai. Very soon after it first opened.Hated it, a bit fur coat and no knickers for my taste. I preferred Le Royal Meridien.
Ritz Carlton, Dubai in the Club level, circa 2005 was superb. No idea what it's like now.
Ritz Carlton and Mandarin Oriental Singapore, loved both.
Ritz Carlton, Montreal.
Cape Grace, Cape Town.

For city leisure travel I'm very fond of Four Seasons, favourites being George V Paris and Hong Kong.

A fabulous family resort halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale is Acqualina Resort. It's lovely for couples too.

I miss travel...

The Corinthia in London. Stayed there on its soft opening weekend….so quiet, huge beds…

Hermitage inn on Nevis. Lots of separate houses, monkeys on the lawn, we were the only people there for a couple of the days. Very high staff to guest ratio!

Ooh @queenatom you lucky thing. It's next on my list. That and the Lake Palace!

Grand Tremezzo on Lake Como. Oberoi Lombok. Would cheerfully bite your hand off to be back in either right now.

Hotel National de Cuba, Havana. Tatty round the edges, oozes history and charm.
The View, Monument Valley, US. Drive round the monuments as the sun goes down, eat marvelous stodgy frybread, marvel at the 'big sky'.

Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Was lovely. Amazing food - drinks in the bar were pricey though.

Stayed in a lovely hotel in Hawaii as well but can't recall the name if it.

@Jaxhog the Kandalama is such a cool place, feels like you’re totally surrounded by nature!

The Calabash in Grenada.

Damn you OP, I NEED A HOLIDAY!!

[quote Restlessinthenorth]@AbsolutelySure I used to walk past that hotel on my way to work every day and look at the really pretty windows in their restaurant, Pearl. Always meant to go, but never did....[/quote]
Me too. Although I did get to go to the restaurant which was fabulous.

DH discussed this and we both said the Renaissance at Niagara Falls although we've stayed at some lovely hotels in some great locations (safari lodges stand out for location obviously). The Grand Hotel Toplice on Lake Bled in Slovenia was wonderful.

Closer to home I would recommend The Grand in Brighton and the Mermaid in Rye. I also liked the London Bridge Hotel but that was probably because it was a spontaneous stay after we'd missed the penultimate train home one Friday night and couldn't be arsed to wait half an hour for the next one . It is a very nice hotel though!

DH and I have stayed in some fantastic hotels over the years. It depends what you mean by best really.
Hotel 41 in London is a delightful little place that feels more like a cosy lounge and offers unpretentious but impeccable service. The champagne selection is poor now compared to the past offerings, however.

The Corinthia, also in London, is also a joy to stay in if you are in one of the suites, although it has become a favourite of social media types so we've stayed away in recent years.

Castello Aragonese d'Ischia is a favourite in terms of experience. You'll find yourself roughing it in the room as it's very, very basic but the views are incredible and it feels like an exciting little adventure to be without the usual hotel luxuries, in a castle overlooking the causeway. The restaurant also served the best fillet steak DH has ever had, and he's been to some of the finest restaurants in the world due to his work.

It's hard to choose a favourite, we've had some lovely holidays at very different hotels, it depends what you enjoy really.

Shamelessly placemarking

I want to live in a hotel when I'm old. Not a nursing home, a hotel. I shall sit in the spa all day and get wrinkly.
