Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort

Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa

Everything seems big in Florida, including the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach, with 250 rooms over 17 floors. We’re welcomed into a spacious reception by one of several friendly receptionists on individual podiums. She cheerfully offers us a glass of bubbly before we hop into the lift and show ourselves to our room: this is an unfussy kind of luxury resort.

Andy Mossack stays at the Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort and Spa in Dubai and wallows in luxurious service. Le Royal Meridien Dubai Main Pool 1600x900

Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort and Spa. Discover the best bench mark in Dubai hotel service.

It wasn’t the pristine limo that was waiting for me at the airport, or the already opened door beckoning me in. Nor was it the effortless way my bags disappeared from my grasp, or the cool water and towels that were instantly offered. It wasn’t the sound of my name in greeting when I arrived, the welcoming smile, the magnificent le Royal Meridien Beach Resort and Spa lobby, or the speed in which I suddenly found myself in my beautifully appointed Tower room seventeen storeys further up. It wasn’t any one of those things. It was all of them.

It’s early evening and happy hour in the hotel’s club lounge, and I’m therefore a very happy person indeed.

Hotel de la Cite Carcassonneresized

HOTEL DE LA CITE. 108 years old and still fabulous.

It may only be 108 years old, but the Hotel de la Cite is the last and most decorative piece in the 1200-year-old jigsaw puzzle which makes Carcassonne such a fascinating place to visit. It was at the beginning of the 9th century that this ancient citadel got its name when it survived a siege by Charlemagne with the help of its moat, drawbridge and thick Roman walls.

Skeppsholmen Hotel,

Skeppsholmen Hotel. Peace, quiet and design in Stockholm

What you expect from Sweden is space, water and uplifting design, but you don’t always get it. In the country’s gloriously green, fresh-air capital, it can be surprisingly hard to find the serenity which is Scandinavia’s secret weapon in an increasingly intense and crowded world.
