Sheraton Full Moon Resort

The Maldives

If the Maldives has grande dames, the Full Moon Resort is one of them. Dating back to 1937, it is one of the most established in the area, although a £15m refurbishment completed last year has left it as well turned out as a Thirties screen siren. It smoulders in...read more

The Stump

Cirencester

It wouldn’t be unfair to call the Cotswolds ‘the Capital of Gastropubs’, as for every country mile walked, there’s sure to be a thatched-roof pub poised to greet you with pea risotto and sticky toffee pudding. Sat in splendid solitude on a stretch of the Foss Way, The Stump, too...read more

Highbullen Hotel

Devon

Located in the wilds of North Devon, this country house hotel retains the atmosphere of gentler times in the best possible way. Think creamy scones by the fire, marshmallow-soft four posters and deep sofas with views over the hills – the perfect spot to lose oneself in the paper. Dinner...read more

The Vera

Tel Aviv, Israel

There’s no denying that Israel’s second city knows a thing or two when it comes to offering a fine boutique bed for the night. The Vera is case in point. The 39-room bolthole takes a locavorian approach, championing home-grown artisans and offering a hyperlocal concierge service, making it a superlative...read more

The Hayden

Notting Hill, London

Nine months ago, The Hayden was a very different boozer. Dark, dingy and with a stamp of masculinity, it was the kind of place you’d briskly walk past. After a major redesign – only the ornate gilded ceiling was left untouched – it now sports straight-out-of-Hoxton white tiles draped in...read more

The Goring

Belgravia, London

Stately and stoic, the stalwart of London’s hotel scene stands as smart as its bowler-hatted footmen. Matured over 108 years, expect understated luxury within its red-brick walls, with 69 suites dashingly dressed in silken walls and sash windows that illuminate the English garden colour palettes. The cosy rooms are matched...read more

The Alpina Gstaad

Switzerland

Nestled unobtrusively between snow-capped Swiss mountains, you’ll be hard-pressed to find Gstaad’s youngest high-altitude escape between its grand dame hotels. Blending into the chocolate-box streets with an ostensibly traditional exterior, the understated luxury is revealed when you drive into the cavernous basement lobby that’s more Bond-lair than die Berge. Popular...read more

The Calile

Brisbane, Australia

Marketing itself as Australia’s first urban resort, The Calile is an aesthete’s sub-tropical fantasy. Its pastel-coloured haze of pink, blue and green marble with cork flooring and geometric industrial facade wouldn’t look out of place in Palm Springs, yet its arrival in the heart of Brisbane has led the regeneration...read more

Bodysgallen Hall & Spa

Llandudno, Wales

Bodysgallen is thought to mean either ‘house among thistles’ or the ‘abode of Cadwallon’, a sixth-century chieftain, but there’s nothing spiky about this place. Various buildings have stood here: a watchtower for nearby Conwy Castle from the 13th century, and then an Elizabethan home. Most of the house, however, dates...read more
