Our hotels

“The hotels we stayed at were beautiful and centrally located”
Alberto, Best of Italy

We understand that where you stay on your trip is vitally important. To ensure you get the very best, we use our local knowledge and expertise to hand-pick each of our hotels for quality, character and location.

That’s why our accommodation has a 99% guest satisfaction rating, and over 80% say our hotels are ‘excellent’ or ‘very good’.

The right location

We make certain that each hotel brings something special to your trip; whether it’s centrally located, in the midst of stunning countryside, or close to a major site.
Hand-picked quality

Our hotels are more than just a place to lay your head. That’s why we select each one to meet our quality guidelines, and visit them every year to ensure they’re still up to standard. Many hotels will be well-known names like Hilton and Radisson Blu; though we know that independent properties offer their own distinctive charm.
Service and dedication

All of the hotels we use are as dedicated to exceptional service as we are. Your Travel Director will take care of your check-in. Your luggage will appear in your room as if by magic, and all your hotel gratuities will be covered. We know you like to stay connected while you’re away, so the majority of hotels we’ve picked offer WiFi.
Authentic Accommodation

We’ve used our local connections to find hotels that capture a destination’s culture in a unique way. For example, in France we might take you for a stay at the Mercure Albi Bastides, an 18th century listed watermill in the world heritage town of Albi. We’ve included Authentic Accommodation on selected trip styles, including At Leisure, Explorers and Hidden Journeys.
