    The Windsor Oberoi | John Borthwick
    The grand Hotel Windsor, sometimes known as "The Duchess of Spring Street", has been the doyenne of Melbourne accommodation since 1883. Sitting at the top of city's central business district, the Hotel Windsor is, like any good hotel, more than the...

  • The Victory Hotel | John Borthwick
    Have you stayed at a boutique hotel with treasure, secret love letters and antiques dating back to the 19th Century? Then you have yet to experience The Victory Hotel, tucked away on a quiet street near the harbour front of Old Town or Gamla Stan....

  • The Banyan Tree Hotel | John Borthwick
    When an attractive woman asks "Would you like to join me on the promise of love tonight?" what is a man to do but accept? At the appointed hour, Khun Sirima - an erudite and witty member of the Banyan Tree Phuket staff - leads me to a jetty where a...

  • Pangkor Laut Resort | John Borthwick
    My over-water villa at Pangkor Laut Resort on the Malaysian Pangkor Laut Island is part of an elegant new Spa Village. Just as well, as I'm on a mission to sample this luxury hotel's new spa. I weave my way along those lovely walkways, above jade...

    Located in the Indian Ocean, the island of Mauritius has a history that sounds like colonial musical chairs. Fortunately, the French left their stamp on matters of cuisine, love and language. Had the British lingered too much longer the five-star...

  • Grand Hotel Europe | John Borthwick
    Nevsky Prospect, St Petersburg's legendary main drag, is a welter of traffic jams, rattling trams, boutiques, cafes and bookstores. Just off it is the Grand Hotel Europe, a luxury hotel that has outlasted the cultures of both Tsars and commissars....

  • Hayman Island | John Borthwick
    Hayman Island, Australia's best-known and longest established island resort, could also be known as Gourmand Island. Shamelessly up-market in its pitch, it offers the champagne-and-everything version of travel, accompanied by the trill of tropical...

  • Tugu Bali | John Borthwick
    The Tugu at Canggu (pronounced Chang-oo), far up a very long beach from madding Kuta, is as much an art gallery as it is a luxury hotel. It reflects the owners' passion for the romantic beauty of the art, history and culture of Java and Bali....
