Hotels Worth Travelling For
What makes a hotel worth travelling for? It’s the kind of place that becomes part of the holiday itself — more than just somewhere to sleep. A hotel that creates its own memories, or a storied landmark steeped in history that you simply need to experience.
From grand Riviera icons to discreet countryside retreats, we look for character, charm, and a true sense of place. Every hotel we feature comes from our own stays. You’ll find legendary destinations like the Negresco in Nice and the Château Marmont in Los Angeles, alongside lesser-known gems that may inspire your next trip.
