Tyddyn Llan Corwen

Corwin

Stepping into the Duke of Westminster’s former shooting lodge feels like wonderful step back in time into a well-heeled friend’s country pile. Hidden at the gateway to Snowdonia National Park and the perfect staging post for a hike up Snowdon (take the Pyg Track for the best views), the countryside...read more

The Vineyard Hotel

Berkshire

Already a mecca for master oenophiles who flock to the sprawling five-star Vineyard for its neon-lit, 30,000-bottle wine cellar, novice noses should also make the pilgrimage. Put your taste buds on trial with the excellent Judgement tasting menu, which plays on the 1976 Judgement of Paris, when American New World...read more

Cotton House Hotel

Barcelona

To spend time here evokes a feeling akin to the soft embrace of a duvet day: it’s comforting, spoiling and relaxing all at once. You’ll find Cotton House in the Eixample District, poised in a 19th-century edifice on Grand Via. Run of the mill it ain’t. Its subtle motif, inspired...read more

South Seas Island Resort Captiva

Florida

For an Englishman playing golf in the Sunshine State, the sight of a 300kg alligator lazily sunning itself in the reeds next to the tee on the third hole will never get old. Though I get the impression the ‘gator in question has seen it all before. Feeling more like...read more

Yet the Anantara group’s touch is so sophisticated, its attention to detail so harmonious – from the...read more

The Wife of Bath

Kent

One of the UK’s best northern Spanish restaurants isn’t what you expect to find at a six-bedroom B&B in a sleepy Kent village. Unless you knew it were there, you’d never find it. Home to a couple of quaint riverside pubs, a haberdasher and two small restaurants, Wye hasn’t (yet)...read more

Rosewood Beijing

Beijing

Cao Xueqin’s saga Dream of the Red Chamber is considered the Chinese novel, and it is also the scarlet thread which runs through this ultra-luxe hotel in Beijing’s CBD. There is a leatherbound copy in each of the 283 bedrooms and exotic art inspired by the story throughout. As with...read more

Waldorf Astoria Trianon Palace

France

September’s Ryder Cup takes place at Le Golf National, just outside Paris. It’s the first time the tournament has taken place in France and as such, they’ve chosen a course worthy of the occasion. Opened in 1990, it’s new and fresh, yet mature enough to prove a challenge when Europe...read more

King Street Townhouse

Manchester

The clock strikes five. The bell rings out over the rooftops of downtown Manchester from the Town Hall, audible in the attic room at King Street Townhouse, one of the city’s more upmarket boutique hotel offerings. For a bird’s-eye view of the bell tower itself, you can take a dip...read more
