SereS Springs Resort & Spa, a WorldHotels Elite member

 

From its world-famous beaches, hot springs and mud bath treatments to the rice paddies, waterfall trails and imposing volcanoes, the beautiful island of Bali abounds with natural wonders and an ancient spirit that tantalises the mind, body and soul. For the outdoorsy types, activities like exploring the Coral Triangle and its rich biodiversity, embarking on a guided meditation retreat, surfing or even simply trekking the lush forests offer an insight into the country’s pristine scenery. Those looking to experience the island mystique should consider a spiritual yoga session, shopping for local arts and crafts or indulging in the numerous health and wellness tea shops, juice bars and organic restaurants for an indulgence into the bounty of this wondrous coastal setting.

 

Blissfully nestled amid verdant valleys and waterfalls and ensconced by Bali’s iconic terraced paddy fields, SereS Springs Resort & Spa celebrates the rich culture of its island home whilst treating discerning travellers to lavishly appointed residences, sophisticated amenities, elegant facilities and a collection of gourmet restaurants that overlook the majestic and holy Mount Agung.

 

Guangzhou, China

White Swan Hotel, a WorldHotels Luxury member

 

The juxtaposition between dynastic palaces and futuristic skyscrapers tantalises travellers visiting the always fantastic city of Guangzhou. Located on the Pearl River, just some kilometres north of Hong Kong and Macau, Guangzhou brims with a rich history of over 2,200 years, where visitors can wander through a plethora of temples, museums, gardens and pagodas or choose more modern landmarks like Canton Tower for incredible city-wide panoramas. While the must-visit sights are, needless to say, numerous, that standout is without-doubt the so-called “Eight Views of Ram City”, which contains an array of inspiring views across the sprawling cityscape that will have you traversing from old-world sanctuaries like The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall to the natural like Liwan Lake and the hyper-modern, where visitors can witness the spectacular skyscrapers shining through the new town.

 

Complementing this setting is the iconic, five-star White Swan Hotel, located in the cultural heart of Guangzhou at the scenic riverfront on historic Shamian Island. With its own private pier for yachts as well as beautifully landscaped gardens, the White Swan Hotel is a truly unique urban resort for savvy travellers.

 

Dubai, UAE

Gulf Court Hotel Business Bay, a WorldHotels Elite member

 

White-sand beaches, unrelenting sunshine, bustling bazaars, stunning Bedouin culture, futuristic architecture, huge malls, and one of the most amazing skylines in the world, Dubai is a city that demands attention, so if you were considering this eclectic city as just another stopover, think again. While most people know about the famous Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shopping destination, the city offers much more than straight glam – though the world-class fine dining and glitzy night clubs are can’t-miss sights. There’s also a surprising amount of adventure awaiting, whether that be exploring the surrounding desert by camel, ATV, hot-air balloon or you can even rent a Formula 1 race car and drive past the dunes.

 

The Gulf Court Hotel Business Bay is ideally situated within the Business Bay district, providing easy access to the city’s commercial districts and only a 5-minute drive to the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. The Gulf Court Hotel Business Bay’s modern, luxurious rooms and facilities deliver an unrivalled, memorable experience in the City of Gold.

 

Miami, Florida, USA

Eden Roc Miami Beach, a WorldHotels Elite member

 

Forever one of the world's flashiest hot spots, the Miami experience delivers sun-kissed beaches, art-deco buildings, a creative arts scene, blazing nightlife and extraordinary cuisine. Long serving as one of the United States’ cultural colossi, where North American, Caribbean, Latin, African and Asian flair merge together in a most pulsating fashion, Miami delivers an aroma for everyone. Head to South Beach for the glam. In Wynwood, trendy new galleries sprout up seemingly daily, and this isn’t even discussing the city’s surprising natural beauty, as it’s located just moments away from the Everglades and Florida Keys.

 

For a proper Miami stay, the chic Eden Roc Miami Beach hotel offers laid-back luxury all while overlooking the famous sands of Miami Beach. The hotel rooms include all modern amenities. Upgraded rooms adorn ocean-view balconies and whirlpool tubs, while the airy, one- or two-bedroom suites feature separate living/dining rooms and spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Atlantic.

 

Milan, Italy

Worldhotel Cristoforo Colombo, a WorldHotels Elite member

 

While Rome may be known for its classical ruins and Renaissance palazzos, don’t sleep on its northern neighbour Milan, where the true beauty of dolce far niente can be found all throughout the city’s boulevards, where hi-tech industries, commerce prosperity and a dazzling world of creativity and fashion blend beautifully together. From the historic heritage left by rulers like Caesar to the cultural legacies of da Vinci, culture brims on every corner. There’s also the impressive culinary scene that holds the highest number of Michelin stars in Italy. Furthermore, it’s impossible to talk about Milan without mentioning the fashion scene, which can be best experienced on the high streets in Quadrilatero d’Oro or at the vintage, canal-side boutiques in the district Navigli.

 

Sitting at the heart of the famous Corso Buenos Aires, one of the city's most important shopping streets, WorldHotel Cristoforo Colombo offers the most perfect boutique stay in the city. Via Montenapoleone and Via della Spiga are within walking distance from the hotel and, by metro (the Porta Venezia station is located 20 meters from the hotel entrance), you can easily reach the must-visit Piazza del Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

 

Moscow, Russia

Metropol Moscow Hotel, a WorldHotels Elite member

 

The Russian capital isn’t merely a political and business mecca. While its history dons an intimidating reputation, the beautiful city also holds hospitality in high regard. While requisite stops include the iconic Kremlin, Saint Basil’s Cathedral, the Red Square, Bolshoi Theatre and a host of impressive museums, the streets are also lined with exceedingly opulent shops, glamorous restaurants and slick bars, so it should come as no surprise the Russian capital is a required pit-stop for a glitzy adventure.

 

Located right near Red Square and facing the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre, the Metropol Moscow Hotel provides a sleek touch to an already sumptuous holiday. Luxuriously decorated in Art Nouveau style, this 5-star property offers all modern comforts and technologies in a unique setting. While there, opt for a traditional Russian tea ceremony at the Chaliapin bar and bask in the grandeur of your surroundings.

 

Zurich, Switzerland

Hotel Schweizerhof Zurich, a WorldHotels Elite member

 

Snow-capped peaks, cobblestone streets, a stunning crystal-clear lake, fabulous spas, out-of-this-world restaurants and the finest horologists in the world: Switzerland's largest city, Zurich, bustles with activity. Long known as one of the world’s leading financial centres, the Swiss metropolis is much more than exorbitant wealth. Its Medieval streets lead to towering cathedrals and centuries old restaurants, but there’s also a host of modern and artsy enclaves that sees old factories transformed into galleries and cultural epicentres. A stop here and it’s easy to see why Zurich is regularly recognised as having one of the world's best qualities of life.

 

For a wave of old-style charm, consider Hotel Schweizerhof Zurich. One of the best-located hotels in the city – across from the central station and mere steps from the city’s main attractions – the property, which was built in 1876, not only maintains a storied history as a luxury hotel, but it also offers the modern amenities and services that show just why so many believe Zurich is one of the best places to live.

 

Singapore

Goodwood Park Hotel, a WorldHotels Elite member

 

Known as the Garden City for its abundance of lush greenery, Singapore has long served as one of southeast Asia’s most sought-after getaways. A diverse, yet modern oasis, where cultures, cuisines and architectural influences merge with ease and elegance, the city-state overflows with innovation and an eco-vision. So, when you arrive here, sink a few slingers, dine out at the headline-grabbing restaurants and explore the expansive urban landscapes. Consider a quiet stop at the Gardens of Bay nature park or a round of 18 at one of the many golf courses sprinkled around the city before endeavouring to bustling areas like Clarke Quay, a riverside marvel lined with restaurants, bars and boutiques.

 

The Goodwood Park Hotel, housed in a magnificent period building, is one of the most pre-eminent properties in the country. Located in the Orchard and Scotts Road area – the prime entertainment and shopping district in the city – the Goodwood Park Hotel was built in 1900 and retains a fin de siècle elegance whilst providing the most modern of 21st century facilities.
