To ask you to name the best hotel you've ever stayed in?

[FatFacedDog]

I love hotels. The best I've ever stayed in is probably a toss up between the Shard in London (Shangri-La) or Phu Petra in Krabi, Thailand.

Do you have any memorable (for the right reasons) hotel stays? Currently trying to organise this years holiday and can't decide on hotels.

On the contrary, the worst was a hotel (so called) in koh Pangan which was an absolute hell hole. Concrete shack with a concrete block topped with a mucky old mattress for a bed! I cried!

Shangri-La in Sydney and The Beachclub on a Hamilton Island both fabulous...in UK the Hotel du Vin in Cheltenham!!

Would be a toss up between the Burj al Arab and Raffles Singapore.

jameeyre we stayed at the Conrad in Chelsea a great many years ago. (Chelsea in London)

It was stunning.

Corinthia in Lisbon was gorgeous. Queens hotel in Leeds was also fab. Stayed in a lovely country hotel outside Florence as well which was beautiful though in the middle of nowhere.

Most disappointing was one outside Stratford upon Avon. Was in Alastair Sawday book as a recommended stay. The room were based on Cluedo characters. We were in Prof. plum but the decor was like a reality BBC1 makeover programme. So disappointed

Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong (many years ago now), and Le Manoir Aux' Quatre Saisons in Oxfordshire.

We've just comes back from Bangkok and stayed in The Banyan Tree. Excellent hotel

Rockliffe hall Darlington for beds and the Isle of Skye because the owners are amazing.

Citizen M in Glasgow.

Burgh Island Hotel in Devon, beautiful Art Deco hotel with bags of history, fantastic staff and a private bar in the local pub!

Grange St Pauls in London, the curtains were like duvets so the room was pitch black and silent at night. Bliss.

Golden Bell in Chiang Mai was lovely - independent and tucked away but lovely.

Yes Banyan Tree in Bangkok
Weston on the Bund in Shanghai
The Wynn Encore in Vegas

The Parador in Ronda, absolutely stunning location, very pricy though

^This - one of my very favourite places

The Datai, hands down.

In the UK - Chewton Glen
Abroad - Any Aman hotel

The Sleve Donard in Newcastle Northern Ireland. So relaxing and comfortable. Food is great. Quite pricy tho, but nice for a treat!

Bikini 24 in Berlin, overlooks the zoo and the Wardolf Astoria in New York

The Copacabana Palace in Rio - we were upgraded to a suite, was out of this world. The service was amazing! One woman was doing laps of the outdoor pool and a butler was walking by the side of the pool at her pace holding an umberella type thing over her so she was shaded from the sun.
When we went out at night there would be treats waiting for us when we came back to the room - champagne, strawberries and cream etc.

Gleneagles near Perth in Scotland - been here lots as my work used to hold incentive weekends here. The top sales people for the quarter would get a weekend here with a meal in a private dining room. They really made a fuss of us as company spent a lot of money with them.
Have been on my own too and the service was just as good tbh.

Grand Floridian Hotel in Disney World, Orlando - just amazing. Totally spoiled.

Loads more but those are my absolute favorites

Parador Leon Saint Marcos, gorgeous, historic building.
Worst well there's loads of those, cheapest price possible for work!
One where the staff ( of one) went home for the night leaving me locked in the hotel and having to exit via the flat roof and a stack of pallets in the morning. Another where fire alarm went off and it became apparent that nobody other than guests were on the premises leaving me and white van man from another room to check for smoke, locate the alarm panel and turn it off. Basement room in the Green Isle Dublin with no heating in the middle of winter...

Hotel villa Athéna - Agrigento . Sicily.

Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur. the setting, the food, the amenities - sheer bliss

The Residence, Tunis (Tunisia)

I just loved the ambience they created, with jazz music in the background.

Llangoed Hall - not far from Hay on Wye.

Check out the Sukothai hotel in Bangkok. Or for a quirkier option, Shanghai Mansion.

Tigerlily in Edinburgh
The Wynn in Vegas
Celebrity Solstice (not a hotel, but a cruise ship...)
