Westminster Hotel | Jamie Dunford WoodThis is a great location for a luxury hotel, right on the seafront, in a town where good locations are hard to find. Although associated with the Concorde chain, the Westminster name, as the manager pointed out, comes first - apparently that makes a...-
Hotel Arts Barcelona

Jamie Dunford Wood
The Hotel Arts Barcelona was one of a number of luxury hotels that was built in record time (and not finished) for the 1992 Olympics. It is right in the harbour, which is a great location - there is plenty going on down there. It has wonderful views...

Jamie Dunford Wood
The Bernini Bristol in Rome has been open since 1874. It has a history of attracting elite clientele, drawn in by the olde-world styling and impeccable service. The central location makes it a convenient base for exploring the city. Inside they have...

Jamie Dunford Wood
Sister hotel of the Hotel Bauer au Lac in Zurich, the Excelsior Hotel Ernst is the smartest place to stay in Cologne, and one of the few buildings, alongside the famous Cathedral which is across the road, to have survived the war. This is a city of...

Hotel Hermitage
|
Jamie Dunford Wood
Of the three grand luxury hotels in Monte Carlo, the Hotel Hermitage rates as the best. Slightly away from the mad throng and vulgarity that surrounds its more famous neighbour, the Hotel de Paris, these guest rooms are less ornate and more tasteful...

Hotel Adler

Jamie Dunford Wood
The inside of Hotel Adler in Madrid, is a masterpiece. The hallway in the boutique hotel is floored in black and white tiling, and what looks like expensive garden furniture, while candles seem to float in large Conran-esque glass jars. The lighting...
