1.  Conservatorium Hotel | <\/b>Amsterdam, Netherlands<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

Like the city itself, the Conservatorium in <\/span>Amsterdam<\/span><\/a> blends classic sophistication with cutting-edge style. \ud83c\udf37 The grande dame beckons travellers with its privileged location in the museum quarter \u2013 making sightseeing a breeze \u2013 and luxurious wellness centre. But locals are known to flock here as well, thanks to the buzzy lobby lounge, glass-enclosed courtyard, and award-winning Asian restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2. The Carlton Tower | <\/b>London, England<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

The shiny new Carlton Tower rises proudly above the Belgravia neighbourhood of <\/span>London<\/span><\/a>, delivering some of the best views the city has to offer and is one of the very best hotels in Europe. Add a serene indoor swimming pool and access to a leafy private park (perfect for photography, we might add), and the ultra-plush hotel is a competitive addition to London\u2019s tony hotel scene. It is also a 6-minute walk to world-renowned Hyde Park and a part of the luxury collection in the UK. \ud83c\udf33<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

3. Lupaia | <\/b>Tuscany, Italy<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

If you are looking to break away from the larger touristy areas of Italy like <\/span>Florence<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Venice<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Milan<\/span><\/a>, the <\/span>Italian Riviera<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Lake Como<\/span><\/a>, perhaps a vacation in the Tuscan countryside is exactly what you need. Lupaia is in the heart of <\/span>Tuscany<\/span><\/a>, about a 1-hour drive from Siena. Many guests choose Lupaia for its superb location, a cypress-lined hilltop in between the towns of Montepulciano and Pienza. This family-owned country estate is far more than just an ideal home base. On the contrary, Lupaia boasts an infinity pool and cottage-style suites with private gardens and enchanting views. When not wine-tasting, guests can spend their days truffle-hunting or exploring Tuscany by e-bike. \ud83d\udeb2<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

5. Dromoland Castle | Galway, Ireland<\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n

Just a 2.5-hour drive from <\/span>Dublin<\/span><\/a> and a 1-hour drive from <\/span>Galway<\/span><\/a>, guests are transported to Old-World Ireland at this castle estate in County Clare \u2013 one of the best hotels in Europe. \ud83c\udff0  Dromoland dates back to the 16th century and has been meticulously maintained, boasting the opulence and grandeur of a real-life fairy tale (not the cheesy kind, we promise)! When not indulging in high tea or hitting balls on the golf course, guests can try their hand at archery, clay shooting, or falconry. No surprise here: it\u2019s a big hit with families.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nothing says \u201cbest of both worlds\u201d quite like this family-friendly hotel in the centre of one of Europe\u2019s coolest cities \u2013 <\/span>Lisbon<\/span><\/a>. \ud83d\udea1 Located a stone\u2019s throw from the Bairro Alto neighbourhood, Martinhal Chiado offers a luxurious residential experience, with colourfully-decorated apartments (complete with kitchens and washer-dryers) and ample resort amenities.

8. B\u00fcrgenstock | <\/b>Zurich, Switzerland<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

Part of the magic of B\u00fcrgenstock, an exquisite spa resort in Switzerland, is the journey to get there. Located just 1-hour into lake country from <\/span>Zurich<\/span><\/a>, this location is a magical mountain oasis. From the base of Lake Lucerne, guests board a funicular and are whisked to the hotel lobby, where they are met with a dramatic lookout over the dizzyingly beautiful alpine landscape (hello, photo opportunities). \ud83c\udfd4 The \u201cwow\u201d factor continues with the hotel\u2019s ultra-modern design and countless outdoor activities \u2013 including hilltop hiking, complete with a symphony of cowbells in the distance.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
