Johannesburg
Yes, there is hip without hip-hop, cool without freeze-out. The Melrose Arch Hotel in northern Johannesburg proves it. Every inch of this 117-room business hotel is design-intensive, yet its flair never distracts with some designer's "Look-at-me!"...

Phuket
The J.W. Marriott Phuket Resort sits amid eleven hectares of tropical gardens on Mai Khao ("white wood") Beach, a 17-km skein of sand and she-oaks. The resort is on the northwest coast of Phuket Island, 15 minutes from the international airport....

Mexico City
Twenty million people surround you. Not that you'd know it when you're in the Hotel Marquis Reforma, on Paseo de la Reforma, at the heart of Mexico City, the most populous settlement on earth. A grand layer cake of civilisations, Mexico DF (as it is...

Uluru
Ayers Rock, or Uluru, is magnetic - visually, culturally. The largest monolith in the world, it sits like a giant paperweight in the middle of Australia, seeming to pin the continent to our planet's blue surface. Almost 10 km around and 600 million...
