Hotels We Recommend
Stays chosen for location, character and service, as part of the journeys we design. Most hotels are arranged to order; the ones published here are those we have written up.
Where to stay
The hotels we have published so far. Most stays are arranged to order as part of a journey.
Iconic Grande Dames
The hotels that wrote the rules of luxury — addresses where history, service and a sense of occasion have been perfected over a century or more.
We have not published any hotels for Osaka yet. Our specialists book them to order — tell us how you want to travel and we will put the stay together around it.
Unique & Unusual Stays
For travellers who collect experiences rather than rooms — overwater, underground, in the treetops or carved from ice, each one a destination in itself.
Overwater & Island Escapes
Private atolls, overwater villas and castaway islands — the rarefied resorts where the sea is your front garden and the horizon belongs to you alone.
Legendary Safari Lodges
Where wilderness meets serious comfort — camps and lodges set deep in the great reserves of Africa, with the migration, the big cats and the silence at your door.
What Makes a Hotel Unforgettable
We do not chase star ratings. A great hotel is judged on the things that linger — a genuine welcome, a true sense of place, food worth staying in for, and service that anticipates rather than reacts.
