You commented BEST, so here it is: the full list, my ten picks in detail, and every one of them bookable through me with perks you won’t get going direct.
A Belle Époque bank reborn off High Holborn. The courtyard entrance alone is worth the stay.
Family-run cliffside legend, with a private terrace for every room and a lift carved through rock to its own beach.
An 800-year-old Val d’Orcia estate with Brunello vineyards, a private golf club and suites in the old borgo.
The storied Palazzo Fonseca reawakened, with Roman grandeur and a rooftop looking straight at the Pantheon.
On swimmable Santa Maria Bay (rare for Cabo), with barefoot luxury done properly.
A former sanatorium at 1,800 metres, with pure Dolomite air, spring water and floor-to-ceiling peaks.
3,000 acres of protected Pacific coast, with architecture built to frame the wild landscape.
Bill Bensley’s opera-house fever dream, with 47 art-stuffed rooms a curtain-call from the Opera House.
1960s Italian glamour above Conca dei Marini, with hand-made tiles, a private beach club and 30 rooms.
An Etruscan castle restored over thirty years, with estate gin in the minibar and a spa in the old wine cellar.
Know the trip you’re planning? These are the ones I’d shortlist. Tap a name to jump to it.
Space-available upgrades and early check-in / late check-out prioritised on every booking I place.
Daily breakfast for two and a property credit (typically $100 USD) toward spa, dining or the minibar you swore you wouldn’t touch.
A direct line to me: the right room category, the reservation worth making, and someone the hotel actually answers to.
