What are the Best Luxurious Hotels?

Our hotel section gathers reviews of every property we have personally stayed in, from grand palace hotels and five-star resorts to intimate boutique addresses and design-forward retreats. Each review is the result of a genuine overnight stay — we test the rooms, the breakfast, the spa, the service, and everything that shapes your experience as a guest.

We cover the details that help you choose with confidence: room categories and which to book, dining options within the hotel, spa and wellness facilities, location and neighbourhood tips, and honest assessments of whether the property delivers on its reputation. Our reviews span major destinations including Paris, Bangkok, Dubai, Singapore, Marrakech, and many more.

With hundreds of nights spent in hotels around the world, Florence Consul knows what separates a truly memorable stay from a simply comfortable one. Explore by hotel style — palaces, design hotels, romantic hideaways, spa retreats — or by destination to find the perfect stay for your next trip.
