    Montalembert | Joanna Monkhouse
    The Montalembert was the first of the 'boutique' hotels in Paris and after its recent refurbishment is running once more alongside its imitators that had begun to overtake the original. The spirit remains the same but the décor is a seamless blend...

    In the heart of bohemian Saint Germain in Paris, lies La Villa Saint-Germain, a contemporary take on the boutique hotel. The stark lobby is lightened by large, modern flower displays, sleek upholstered chairs and fabric wall hangings. The bar serves...

    The Gore has been a luxury hotel since 1892, but has been privately-owned and run since the early 1990s by a group of first-time hoteliers who have made a speciality out of Victorian eccentricity - a style that can be also be sampled at Hazlitt's in...

  • Les Deux Tours | Joanna Monkhouse
    Down a track in Marrakech, 15 minutes from the medina, visitors find the entrance to the Les Deux Tours (identified by the two round gate towers that inspired its name). The collection of villas was originally designed as private houses by Charles...

  • Dar Ayniwen | Joanna Monkhouse
    Most of the guesthouses in the Palmeraie arrived relatively recently but Dar Ayniwen has the advantage of having been around for some 30 years. Built as the owner's family home, after 20 years a house with seven bedrooms became too big, and it was...

  • Ryad Mabrouka | Joanna Monkhouse
    The luxury riad Ryad Mabrouka is a great place to pitch up in Fez. But staying in a Moroccan riad is somewhat difficult to describe to the uninitiated. They vary in the quality of the accommodation, comfort, service, and the personality of the owner...
