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!

The Peace Hotel in Shanghai was insane - it's a fairmont and so stunning with the best breakfast I've ever eaten.

Bells How fortunate is your sister to have married at such a swanky hotel.

Bells3032 · 07/07/2021 14:15

@Faith50 my sister got married there so we got complimentary suites for the night. my sister's room was amazing with heated floors and her own butler. my room was still amazing and had it all to myself

I can only imagine how beautiful The Savoy hotel is. I ate in the restaurant last year and it was rather stunning. The service was absolutely impeccable from the moment we arrived.

Did you both stay for a special occasion?

Aaargh, I just wrote a whole post about why I loved Cragwood Country House in Windermere, but somehow my entire post disappeared. Oh well, my favourite UK hotel is this one in Windermere. It's lovely.

Four seasons hotel In Santa Barbara
We had a bungalow and it was amazing!

Suite in the splendido hotel in Portofino.

We have stayed in many lovely hotels but these are definitely the best !

Brings back memories of our experience of the Langham Hotel in Hong Kong when it first opened. It had BIG teething troubles. Alarms going off multiple times in the middle of the night every night as a problem with the hotel's electrics. Toilets/bath bringing disgusting sewage up flooding the bathroom. Ended up in multiple different rooms due to the issues!!!!
However, without the teething troubles I suspect it would be a great Hotel albeit a little odd with the glass wall between the bedroom and bathroom as others have highlighted. Would love to return and see it fully functional without the problems we experienced.
Had a great experience at the Victoria Falls Hotel, Zimbabwe many years ago.

Going to go back and finish the thread now. I live in a city that contains many of peoples’ favourites - maybe I should do a staycation tour Grin

Enjoying this thread! One from me from the UK, which is a small B and B was the Randy Pike. Best breakfast ever!!

I loved the St Andrews Hotel in Nuwara Eliya. We stayed in some lovely hotels in Sri Lanka but it was generally very hot and when we arrived in cool, cloudy Nuwara Eliya, we got a cup of soup rather than a welcome cocktail! Also, we had a lovely stay at the Avenida Palace hotel in Lisbon. In the UK, the Midland Hotel in Manchester is nice. Great afternoon tea!
I’ve loved reading this thread, thanks op! We have 2 small children now so holidays like this are off the cards for a while but planning holidays is my favourite hobby so I’ve loved reading about all these fabulous places!

I forgot about Motswiri Safari Lodge at Madikwe, South Africa - wonderful private outdoor shower www.madikwegamereserve.co.za/accommodation/motswiri-private-safari-lodge/

Wondrous thread! In London I love Brown’s. The Scarlet in Cornwall has sadly lost its way a bit, but 5 or so years ago was a glory, I hope they sort out and return to splendour. The Guest House in Vienna my favourite of all, they look after you so well there.

Bells3032 · 07/07/2021 10:08

oooh so many:

The Four Seasons Hampshire
The Savoy London
The Venetian Vegas
The Peninsula Bangkok
The Crown Towers Melbourne

AvonCallingBarksdale · 07/07/2021 09:57

@Hairbrush123 I wonder if it’s worth asking for this to go into MN Classics so that people can easily refer back to recommendations?

Great thread thank you!
