To ask about the best hotel you’ve ever stayed at?

[CoffySalon]

I’m planning a trip and I’m curious about people’s experiences with hotels. What’s the best hotel you’ve ever stayed out and what made it stand out? Whether it’s the service, location, amenities, or something else, I’d love to hear your top recommendations!

Gleneagles - facilities and service
Grantley Hall - service, decor
Rendezvous St Lucia - all round experience
Buccament Bay St Vincent - location
One & Only Royal Mirage Dubai -
Service, decor, cuisine
Tamassa Mauritius - location, cuisine, service

That was for gingercat02

The best hotel in London is The Londoner IMO; service amazing!

For the history/provenance:
Hotel Negresco - Nice
and Plaza Hotel

For amazing service.
The Four Seasons - NYC

The Chedi, Muscat
Zighy Bay, Oman

Singapore - Raffles for the ambience, Mandarin Oriental for the breakfast and excellent all-round service.

MBS for the opulence of the suite and the view. But the pool is people soup and the overall ambience is spoiled by wealthy gamblers and their hangers-on and the fawning over them by the staff to the detriment of everyone else.

Claridges. The service is amazing. I want to die there - I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be when the time comes.

This was lovely to read, I think we all deserve to have at least one luxury hotel ecperience in our lifetime and yours sounds like a great one

The hilton Resort and Spa 🇲🇺 Mauritius
Hotel la Minerva in Rome
Le Sirenuse in Positano
JUMBY BAY in Antigua
ATLANTIS in the Bahamas

What was it you liked about it? I'm curious as I used to live there.

Yes it is in Lanzarote and yes as PP mentioned it is amazing 😍

Loved Gleneagles. Loving this thread.
would also add the Corinthia in London

El Remanso Eco Lodge on the Osa peninsula in Costa Rica. Stunning hotel in the middle of a rainforest.

Le Manoir Aux Quatre Saisons in Oxford - beautiful grounds, great service and food.

St Regis Mardavall Majorca, amazing, also Lake Palace Udaipur.

The Cotton House in Mustique and Pine Cay in the Turks and Caicos - both beautiful!

3 of my favourites:

Minos Beach, Crete
Bandos Island, Maldives
Movenpick, El Gouna

Sorry re bad spelling, punctuation etc. I think we got lucky that day and kinda when we needed it as we had an awful day as literally it been tipping it and everywhere was full and it was looking like we have to sleep in the car. Slightly outing as there can't be many English couples arriving dropping rain water all over the floor, although it was a few years ago now...pre dd so over 8 years ago. The owner was lovely and dh and I felt she offered the deal as the room was empty but because we looked so wet...think drowned rats...My dream is to return one day. It was Hotel EDELWEISS Berchtesgaden.

Forestis, Dolomites

The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur. Had our own private bungalows with sunken baths that had a view out to the gardens with all the monkeys playing. We had a private butler 24/7 who ran the bath for me sprinkled the water with rose petals.

We had broken down the dessert on the way there so looked an absolute fright when we got there, but what a treat it was to stay there. President Clinton had just been there too.

Amanpulo - The Philippines
Villa San Michele - Fiesole

The Nautilus in the Maldives.

Our accommodation was bigger than our house at home and our private pool enormous. Our butler could read our minds. Housekeeping always came when we were out so never saw them. Lots of surprise treats and food out of this world. You didn’t even have to go off the menu - you could literally order anything you liked and chef could / would make it for you. Plus the stunning location.

We were left a large inheritance which could ONLY be spent on travel. My brothers went on a couple of smaller trips and we blew it on the trip of a lifetime. It was worth every penny.

This one. So beautiful.

Purana Boutique Hotel in Bali. One bedroom Villa with a private pool. A little restaurant if you wanted to be a bit social otherwise all meals served at your villa (and at Bali prices, not western prices). No other facilities aside from a car and driver available whenever needed, but we didn't feel the need for any other facilities. Other than a couple of trips with the driver we just holed up there in a bubble.

The 5* Anantara in Bali was very, very disappointing in comparison.

Camp Estate, LARNACH Castle, Dunedin, New Zealand. Art Deco splendour.
