Turkey

While two of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – Ephesus, in Selçuk, and the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus – are within easy reach of this idyllic coastal sweep north of Bodrum, you’ll be hard pressed to tear yourself away from the countless wonders right here at your fingertips.

Amanjena

Marrakech, Morocco

It’s a rare thing to discover a hotel with such an embracive, perfectly consistent design motif as that found at Amanjena, one of Morocco’s standout hotels.

The Bower House

Shipston-on-Stour, England

The epitome of a traditional market town, Shipston-on-Stour is all cheery bunting, independent butchers and family-run bakers.

Wiltshire, England

Set in the heart of the Nadder Valley, this 14th-century inn was first built to offer respite to traders journeying from Poole to Birmingham.

The Varsity Hotel

Cambridge, UK

In a city full of overpriced hotels geared at international tourists, Cambridge’s Varsity is a modern, comfortable and good-value setup which couldn’t be better located if it tried.
