Festive Grand Dames: The Best Hotels for Christmas Cheer from Travel Intelligence

There's nothing quite like a stay at a grand dame to fill you with the festive spirit. Palatial interiors – all gleaming marble floors and elaborate columns reaching up to high ceilings and sparkling chandeliers – are obviously to the fore; but most of the hotels we've picked out do a nice line in cosily traditional afternoon teas and enormous Christmas trees, too.

Whether they're luxury hotels in London like The Ritz or similarly institutional 5 star hotels in Paris like Hotel de Crillon, overall the effect is enough to make you feel like you've stepped straight into the magic of a classic black and white Christmas movie!
