Grand Hyatt Hong Kong | Daniel ScottThe enormous 549 room Grand Hyatt Hong Kong hotel, on Hong Kong island, was rated highly enough to host Bill Clinton's Presidential visit in 1998. "The staff make a stay here memorable," says regular guest, Therese Fung, of Lucky Star casinos, "...-
Peninsula Beverly Hills
|
Daniel Scott
It is wall-to-wall celebrities at this Peninsula sibling, even if its French renaissance style frontage marks it out as a very different kind of property from other hotels in this area. The Peninsula Beverly Hills nearly lives up to the standards of...

Hotel Albatroz

It is hard to imagine anybody not enjoying a stay at the Hotel Albatroz. Everything about this property, situated just 30 kilometres from Lisbon, in the busy seaside village of Cascais, conspires to leave an indelible impression of loveliness....

Daniel Scott
The Ritz-Carlton San Francisco is the address in San Francisco these days, perched as it is on Nob Hill, at the heart of this compact city. The grandiloquent building in which the hotel is housed has been a city landmark since 1909 and it’s a neo...

Daniel Scott
Queen of the glamour factor amongst Hollywood's luxury hotels, the Beverley Hills Hotel is a self-styled "Pink Palace". It was here that Marilyn Monroe began an affair with Yves Montand, during the filming of "Let's Make Love". Other Beverley Hills...

The Dorchester

Daniel Scott
Of all London's genteel institutions, like the Savoy and Claridge's, it is The Dorchester, surprisingly only opened in 1931, that above all continues to cut the mustard. Recent refurbishments here have given a new sheen to this luxury hotel's acres...
