A swimming pool often decides the booking because

A swimming pool often decides the booking because it shapes how the stay will unfold from the moment you arrive. It becomes the place you gravitate towards without thinking, where you ease into the day with a swim before breakfast and return later when the pace naturally slows.

The best luxury hotels understand this and design their pools as the part of the stay that shapes the experience.

Which one would you dive into first?

Some hotels end up in every photo. You open the door, step outside, and reach for your phone straight away because the view is stunning.

Elegant Hotel Collection brings together places where terraces open onto wide landscapes, pools sit against uninterrupted horizons, and every angle feels naturally framed. These are the kind of stays that fill a camera roll quickly. Selfies with a breathtaking view become part of the stay, something you return to or share with friends on social media.

Which one are would you visit first?

Easter becomes more interesting when the hotel builds the experience around it.

The Bodmin Jail Hotel brings a cool vibe in an unusual setting, while Galgorm focuses on food that keeps children engaged and gives parents time to slow the pace. Rudding Park leans into a more refined Easter Sunday, with attention centred on the table. Down Hall takes a different approach, with a seasonal afternoon tea, and Taplow House keeps things classic with an Easter egg hunt that delivers every time.

Each one offers a distinct way to spend the weekend.

Which one would you book for your family?

There are many reasons to stay at TreeHouse Villas

There are many reasons to stay at TreeHouse Villas Koh Yao but if we have to pick only five, these are the ones.

Two storey villas set above the ground, with private pools and open fronts. A setting that naturally leads to iconic social media moment, especially at sunrise and late afternoon. Outdoor spa treatments placed close to the shoreline, rooted in Thai practice. A strong sense of romance shaped by the bay and its quiet pace. Direct access to island hopping across Phang Nga Bay. And of course evenings at the clubhouse, where you can relax by the pool with a cocktail.

Which of these would you try first?

Today we launch Powered by Pioneers. A behind-the-scenes series where we meet the creators and innovators who are shaping the Elegant Hotel Collection community, and proving that progress is powered by people, passion and a distinct point of view.

To mark International Women’s Day, we begin with @chefvanessamarx , Executive Chef at @binghamriverhouse in Richmond, an award-winning chef who believes food should do more than nourish. It should bring people together, spark conversation and create the kind of moments that stay with you long after the table is cleared.

Garden dining is shaping the best luxury travel tr

Garden dining is shaping the best luxury travel trends for 2026, with travellers actively searching for the best outdoor restaurants in Europe and coastal destinations. Eating in a garden changes the entire dining experience. Natural light enhances presentation, fresh air sharpens flavour, and open surroundings create a relaxed social energy that defines modern fine dining.

From the French Riviera to Mediterranean beach towns and design-led city courtyards, al fresco restaurants now rank among the best places to go for summer travel. Guests are choosing terrace dining, botanical courtyards and sea-facing garden tables over formal interiors. The setting adds depth to seasonal menus and makes long lunches feel elevated yet effortless.

For your next luxury escape, would you book a Riviera garden lunch or a coastal sunset dinner first?

FIFTY TWO at Rudding Park has been awarded a Michelin Guide Star, a first for Harrogate and a defining moment for chef Adam and his team. The restaurant was built with a clear intention: genuine cooking rooted in produce grown in its own kitchen garden. Emma and her garden team shape every dish, guiding the menu through the seasons.

Recognition extends to Other Adam™, Jess, Callum, Finn and Robbie, alongside the Mackaness family, whose support allowed the concept to flourish. Guests arrive, “see no menu, and say ‘go on then.’” That trust defines the experience and positions FIFTY TWO among the best Michelin Star restaurants in the UK for those seeking refined destination dining.

Would you travel to Harrogate for a Michelin Star experience?

Bar Far opens in Trastevere as the latest project

Bar Far opens in Trastevere as the latest project by Villa Lontana, conceived by Clementine Keith-Roach and Christopher Page presented in Villa Lontana’s new exhibition space in Trastevere.

The art exhibition and immersive installation features plaster cast bodies surface from walls, support tables, hold candles. Painting collapses architecture into illusion. Sculpture behaves like structure. References to ancient Rome and baroque interiors are present but controlled, filtered through contemporary restraint. The final room opens into a painted colonnade glowing red, drawing the eye forward rather than outward.

Bar Far takes cues from historic art-bars as places of conversation and refuge, not spectacle. Live poetry, music and performance activate the space across the season. Open December through March, it offers a rare Roman evening shaped by authorship, craft and attention.

We’ve been thinking about how Valentine travel has

We’ve been thinking about how Valentine travel has shifted. The usual scripts don’t hold much interest anymore, especially if you travel often and choose hotels with intent. Design, location, and atmosphere tend to lead the decision now, particularly when you’re looking for the best places to go for a Valentine escape that feels current.

Across four chosen destinations, the pattern stays clear. Romance shows up through space, design, and setting rather than predictable gestures. These hotels tend to appeal to those who notice proportions, materials, and how a place fits into its surroundings. They work well if you book trips around culture, food, and atmosphere, and value hotels that stay relevant long after the photos are taken.

Valentine trips now reflect how people travel. Less performance, more substance. Elegant Hotel Collection aligns with that shift, offering access to some of the best places to go for design-led luxury stays.

London, Gibraltar, Cornwall, or Mykonos. Which destination would you choose first?

The best travel days start with real sleep. When a

The best travel days start with real sleep. When a hotel gets the bed right, everything else follows. You have more energy, more patience, and a better sense of place. These hotels are consistent on the details that matter - supportive mattresses, quiet, high-quality bedding, and spaces designed to let your body actually rest. That’s what makes them worth booking.

Each one brings a different setting - city, coast, countryside - but the standard doesn’t shift. If you care about how you feel on your trip, start with where you sleep. These are hotels that prioritise recovery as much as experience. It’s a small decision that improves everything that comes after.

Which one fits into your next itinerary?

Krakow has become one of the best places to go in

Krakow has become one of the best places to go in Europe for restaurant lovers looking beyond predictable food cities. The best restaurants in Krakow favour atmosphere, scale, and timing.

This is dining that fits naturally into the city rather than competing with it. Travellers searching for cute restaurants in Krakow or photogenic places to eat find spaces that feel lived-in and well paced. These are restaurants locals return to and visitors talk about after leaving.

Szara Gęś, Bottiglieria 1881, Cyrano de Bergerac, Amarylis, and Pod Nosem consistently appear in serious recommendations for a reason. Which one would you choose first?

Paris remains one of the best places to go for fashion exhibitions that reward curiosity and taste. This season’s shows invite travellers into the craft, archives, and cultural weight behind the clothes.

These exhibitions suit those who build itineraries around museums, ateliers, and neighbourhoods where fashion lives beyond the runway. Paris delivers that rhythm naturally. For anyone searching fashion exhibitions in Paris worth travelling for, this edit belongs on the list.

The city’s top restaurants lean into the season with confidence, making it ideal for travellers searching for the best restaurants in Shanghai right now.

By 2026, luxury travel is no longer driven by fant

By 2026, luxury travel is no longer driven by fantasy or excess. It is shaped by behaviour. What you value now is measurable in how you choose, how long you stay, and what you return home talking about. The journeys that stand out reflect four clear trends that are already reshaping how travel is experienced and discussed.

A sense of place has moved from a desirable extra to a baseline expectation. You want clarity. You want to understand where you are without mediation. This reflects a wider cultural shift towards locality, neighbourhood identity and contextual awareness. Hotels are no longer there to soften their surroundings or create distance from them. They are there to sharpen them.

Hotels like Cresta Palace Celerina or La Sultana Oualidia align with this by allowing natural elements to lead. Mountains, water, and open horizons shape experiences that feel expansive without effort and properties such as Bingham Riverhouse or Chateau Denmark resonate because they sit naturally within their environment, while Galgorm Resort and Spa and Fonab Castle Hotel and Spa connect with this by embedding wellbeing into environment and routine rather than presenting it as a separate activity.

London holds its position among the best places to go for art lovers, especially for those who value culture alongside luxury hotels and design-led stays. The city’s current exhibitions move between museum-level photography, bold contemporary narratives, and modern masters shown with confidence.

This is London at its most visually charged, where gallery visits sit naturally between five-star hotels, private views, and late reservations. The experience rewards curiosity and taste, offering art exhibitions in London that shape global conversation right now.

Photography, contemporary voices, or modern icons. Which would you explore first?
