Rooms Hotel Kazbegi

Ross Fraser — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Inspired by the serenity of nature and the dynamics of the human mind, Rooms Hotels opened their Kazbegi property back in 2012. Retro nods to the area’s Soviet past (this was once a sanatorium) combine with colourful local textiles, deep leather armchairs, furnishings by Flamant and Restoration Hardware and raw timber that’s been reclaimed from dilapidated buildings in Georgia’s west. There’s a large shared space with filled bookcases and the feel of a fashionable private members’ club; a casino that mixes up some decadent cocktails; and below ground, a wellness centre, with a 30-foot heated pool and mountain views.

Stay in your own private jungle bungalow with vaulted beamed ceilings, a patio, hot tub, minibar and an indoor-outdoor seating area. This eco-friendly boutique hotel is set on a nature reserve right beside (and over) the Quexil Lagoon, with its own dock, from which you can take sightseeing boat rides and jeeps, to give guests a ride along the walkways back to their bungalows. In addition to a spa, and the Shultún Restaurant (which specialises in fish from the waters on the doorstep), the hotel has its very own museum where you can learn more about this northern region of Guatemala and its rich Mayan heritage.

Dating back to 1932, the Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor was one of the first luxury hotels to establish itself in Siem Reap. A large number of famous travellers have spent time here over the years such as Somerset Maugham, the Clintons and Charlie Chaplin. While the hotel has managed to hold onto much of its original charm, areas have also been updated to make way for state-of-the-art amenities such as an excellent spa that includes six spacious treatment rooms and a fully loaded gym. Guests are also invited to take part in one of the weekly wine and cheese making workshops. Traditional Khmer dance performances are also held in the large garden in the evening and guests have the chance to take in one of these unforgettable performances while they dine in style.

Immerse in nature when you stay at this Bavarian-style property, a former equestrian centre set among the Chiemgau Alps.

Soak in the mesmerising lake and volcano views while cooling off in the infinity pool at Casa Palopo. Bedrooms and a villa sleeping up to nine guests have accents of traditional Guatemalan design, many with rustic timber beamed ceilings, open fires, stucco walls and four-poster beds. Each has its own area of outdoor space, providing further opportunities to admire the elevated vistas. 6.8 Palopó is the Casa’s award-winning restaurant, serving food prepared using ingredients from neighbouring farms; partly covered, part fully alfresco, the candlelit dining space at this Relais and Chateaux hotel is particularly romantic after dark.

Gravetye Manor

Ross Fraser — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:00:00 +0000

The Michelin-starred Dining Room at Gravetye Manor is a highlight of any stay here. Many ingredients come from the country house’s century-old walled kitchen garden – of which floor-to-ceiling windows provide an ample view. The grounds are stunning and the hotel runs tours of the gardens alone. Inside, 17 rooms are each named after trees on the estate, furnished with antiques, pastel textiles, oil paintings and flowers freshly picked from outside. The building dates back to the 16th century and the portraits of the original owners can be seen carved above the fireplace in one of the bedrooms.

Kinloch Lodge

Ross Fraser — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Back in the 16th-century, this was a hunting lodge. Now it’s a well respected, family-owned and run hotel in a remote part of Skye (although, most of Skye is by nature remote). Local craftspeople have been employed in the process of decorating this hotel, giving it a distinctly Scottish, yet upscale look. Homely rooms are all individually designed, with views of the nearby loch, fluffy robes and L’Occitane bath products. Guests can go foraging with the lodge’s own ghillie, take part in traditional country pursuits, play board games, dine on menus constructed to include ingredients from the Kinloch’s kitchen garden and drink at the honesty bar.

Hotel Tannenhof

Ross Fraser — Wed, 06 May 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Housed in a classic chalet-style building, the five-star Hotel Tannenhof has a regal feel inside (quite possibly due to many pops of the traditionally royal colours purple and red throughout its textiles). Its spa was completely redesigned five years ago, it has stunning mountain views, luxury holistic treatments, indoor and outdoor pools – the former with a counter-current system and the latter with a natural hot spring – 16 treatment cabins and an aroma steam bath. Guests can enjoy Alpine haute cuisine, suites with private balconies and a Maserati chauffeur-driven private car service.
