Luxury Hotel Reviews
What defines a luxury hotel? For us, it’s not just about five stars on the door. It’s the welcome when you arrive, the scent in the corridors, the weight of the linen, and the details that linger in your memory long after you’ve checked out.
Whether it’s a grand Riviera landmark or a discreet countryside retreat, we look for character, charm, and a sense of place. You’ll find reviews of iconic destinations like the Negresco in Nice and the Balmoral in Edinburgh, alongside lesser-known gems that surprised us for all the right reasons.
This page features our latest luxury hotel reviews — independent, experience-led insights into some of the best places to stay around the world.
Every hotel listed here has been visited, stayed in, and written about first-hand. These are not sponsored stays or rehashed press releases — just honest reviews from places we’ve actually experienced.
