Ile-de-France

Paris
Melia Vendome’s look is clean luxury corporate with local twist - in this case the twist being the Belle Epoque reception area scattered with good repro antiques, the wood panelling in the rooms, and the general library air of sophistication running...

Paris
The Hotel Pont Royal is a smallish boutique hotel in the heart of the Left Bank. It is comprised of 75 rooms, re-launched in 2000 after 8 years of renovation. The Pont Royal and ground floor bar have plenty of literary tradition, having been the...

Hotel Luna

|
Capri and Ischia
|
Capri
A delightful cliff top boutique hotel with perhaps the finest views of any in Capri, as 'seaview' in most hotel brochures on Capri means a distant blue haze over a forest of TV aerials. But at the Hotel Luna there is nothing between you and the sea...

|
Capri and Ischia
|
Capri
A small and elegant luxury hotel right in the heart of the old town of Capri, and very close to the Piazetta. From 1822 it has been offering hospitality to visitors and 'grand tourists', which dates it before much of the glamourous activity in Capri...

Hotel Majestic Roma

|
Italy
|
Lazio
|
Rome
The lobby of this hotel promises great things - rich dark wood paneling and silk hangings provide a link with its past, with a real feel for an historic Edwardian hotel. The reception rooms and sitting areas too are magnificent, with parquet floor,...

Italy
|
Lazio
|
Rome
The Quirinale is a useful choice of hotel for those who want the luxury of a suite without the prices of the Via Veneto. The ordinary doubles can be very ordinary, decorated in somber colours with worn and uninspiring furnishings and plain bathrooms...

Innsbruck
The 'Black Eagle' is one of the oldest hotels in Austria, if not Europe. Since the 1400's it has been continuously offering shelter to travellers, and has had many illustrious guests, from the 16th century mistress of the Austrian Emperor Maximilian...

Riviera Cote d'Azur

St Paul de Vence
La Colombe d'Or is famous, and justly so. For long the haunt of impoverished artists who couldn't pay their bills, it became the home of a unique collection of art from many of the subsequently famous names who supped at its delightful terrace...

Switzerland

Eastern Alps

Lucerne
After a number of recommendations on this hotel from TI clients, we went to check it out. Calling itself the Art Deco Hotel Montana, the building dates from 1910 and is in a wonderful position half way up the hill overlooking the lake and town of...

Hotel Jules Cesar

|
France
|
Provence
|
Arles
Arles’ smartest hotel, safe but lacking in excitement. Converted 17thC convent, with fine cloistered garden and interior pool – deceptive, since it stands on the busy inner ring road of Arles. Smart slightly snooty staff, old fashioned rooms with...
