The Caledonian Edinburgh
Edinburgh, United Kingdom · Waldorf Astoria
An Edwardian railway grande dame whose castle-view rooms, spa and Princes Street setting make it Edinburgh's classic luxury stay.
United Kingdom
London grandes dames and country house estates trade on history, and the best of them back it up with serious kitchens and quietly brilliant service.
Fairmont St Andrews
St Andrews, United Kingdom · Fairmont
A cliff-top golf estate with the North Sea for a moat: grand, windswept and far better run than its conference-scale bones suggest.
Fairmont Windsor Park
Windsor, United Kingdom · Fairmont
The most complete spa operation within reach of London, wrapped in a convincing new-build country house beside Windsor Great Park.
Radisson Blu Edwardian Vanderbilt
London, United Kingdom · Radisson
Location does the heavy lifting here, and in South Kensington that is no small thing.
Hilton London Kensington
London, United Kingdom · Hilton
Not luxurious, but a well-priced 601-room base between Holland Park's lawns and Portobello Road's stalls.
The Dorian London
London, United Kingdom
A characterful, fairly priced Fitzrovia base that spends its budget where guests actually notice.
Park Inn Cardiff City Centre
Cardiff, United Kingdom · Radisson
The obvious bed for a Motorpoint Arena night: plain, central and priced accordingly.
