I bloody love a nice hotel. What is your favourite hotel you’ve stayed in?

Mine would be:
Crowne Plaza Changi (Singapore) and got upgraded to the roof terrace suite. Absolutely loved it.
The Langham Hong Kong and stayed in the junior suite!

And another vote for Burgh Island

Kandalama in Sri Lanka. In the middle of nowhere and full of wildlife. The shower cubicles are on the outside, so you can watch elephants and monkeys while showering. There was a live flutist by the infinity pool which had a view over the elephants in the valley below. And the food was amazing. We were there for a wedding and after 5 days had forgotten how to open doors, serve ourselves, etc. Fantastic!

Sirili Lodge, Shamwari Game Park in South Africa. Wonderful food on the terrace overlooking the plains watching the wildlife

Four Seasons, Las Vegas. Breakfast by the pool was a little slice of heaven amongst the madness

Hotel des Coeurs, Zermatt for the view of the Matterhorn from their huge hot tub (not for the "textile free" hammam which was a bit much for us socially awkward Brits)

In fact, anywhere except an outer suburb of London right now....

The Dusun in Bali 😍
Beautiful villas with private pools, just beautiful

Have stayed in some beautiful places in my time but close to home I just adore a weekend in the Galgorm Resort in Northern Ireland.

Corinthia London - I can still smell their room fragrance when I close my eyes! Or Mandarin Oriental Singapore for impeccable service

Hwange safari lodge

Emerson's in Stonetown, Zanzibar.

It's mediocre in many respects, e.g. no facilities [gym, internet, lifts, etc], patchy service, unremarkable food for the price, questionable water pressure, liable to power cuts, etc.

But the view from the roof terrace is is great and both the interior and [most of] the rooms are spectacular.

I stopped bitching about the hotel overbooking snafu when the taxi arrived here: Twelve Apostles Hotel, Camps Bay. It smelled so good. Full of honeymooners; business travellers are rare.

I'm not sure mine are in par with some of these!

But - we love the corinthia in Budapest, always upgrade to exec level though
Stella Island in Crete was beautiful and we felt dead posh with a swim up room!

MissFritton65 · 06/07/2021 22:11

Ivory Lodge, Sabi Sands, Kruger.
Jaya House, Siem Reap, Cambodia
Reids, Maderia
Cavalieri Hotel, Rome
Pera Palace, Istanbul
The Marine, Hermanus, South Africa
St, David's Spa, Cardiff.
The Grove, Narberth, West Wales

All beautiful with great service and food;,
most with wonderful views.

A Riu hotel in Bavaro in Dom Rep. we had two optics with full size bottles of rum and whiskey. On our 2nd day the maid asked me if I liked the whiskey and I jokingly said no, I'd rather have vodka and she came back with a bottle of vodka to replace it. The food was also out of this world and it was so clean and beautiful.

StiggyZardust · 06/07/2021 22:11

Carlisle Bay, Antigua. Absolutely lovely.
Ritz Carlton, New York. Had a room with a telescope to look out at the Statue of Liberty.

Forgothowmuchlhatehomeschoolin · 06/07/2021 22:10

Oh and the Hard Rock in Tenerife was lovely too.
What a great thread OP!!

@bassackwards I am so jealous! Take a big deep breath in when you walk through the door for me

HelenHywater · 06/07/2021 22:09

The Cipriani in Venice is very nice.

Would love to stay in Claridges.

ElArco · 06/07/2021 22:09

In fact, forgot to add...along with Lewis Hamilton.

When I say 'along with' I mean in the hotel, not in his room. 😂

bassackwards · 06/07/2021 22:09

Ooh I'm glad to see an endorsement for the Langham above. Am heading there tomorrow!

Forgothowmuchlhatehomeschoolin · 06/07/2021 22:08

The Venetian in Vegas
Hilton in Singapore
Langham in Boston

In that order

SeaToSki · 06/07/2021 22:08

Le Manoir in Oxfordshire

The Skylofts at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The closet was so big we slept 2 kids in it 🤣

OneEpisode · 06/07/2021 22:08

For ‘30s fans, a night at Burgh Island in Devon might be nice?

ElArco · 06/07/2021 22:08

Grantley Hall, North York's.

This is not on par with the luxury ones listed but I LOVE a family suite in a Holiday Inn or Intercontinental. It’s just so practical with 2 young children.
