Beau-Rivage Palace | Jamie Dunford WoodThe Beau Rivage is a classic 19th-century grande dame. When it was built in 1861, the first tourists were wealthy Anglo-American industrialists and the remnants of the old aristocracy; the hotel was built to spec on English-owned land in a prime...-
Hotel Daniel

The Hotel Daniel is an exceptional boutique hotel in Paris, owned by a Lebanese couple and the sister hotel of L'Albergo in Beirut. The Lebanese are, as a rule, an exceptionally cultured people, something Europe has forgotten during years of...

Hayfield Manor
|
Jamie Dunford Wood
Hayfield Manor, built and opened in 1996, is a five star 'luxury hotel' on the edge of Cork. 'Manor' is something of a misnomer - Hayfield is not rural, but a handy ten minute walk from the centre of Cork. It's a luxury hotel that's been designed to...

Hotel Pulitzer

Jamie Dunford Wood
The Rocco Forte style has finally come of age in the Villa Kennedy luxury hotel. Perhaps it is the canvas they have had to work on. Despite rigorous planning, hoops that had to be jumped through, the building is magnificent. It is the former Max...

Despite the slightly edgy atmosphere in the surrounding streets (and after all, Frankfurt can only benefit from a touch of edginess), this design hotel is one of the best places to stay in the downtown area. The rooms Easily accessible from the...

Westin Palace

Jamie Dunford Wood
The official name for this hotel is now the Westin Palace, and with that you know exactly what to expect - for some an advantage, for others a turnoff. For purists it is saddening to see yet another grand old hotel renovated to death with such an...
