Krakow was once the capital of Poland and it still has many impressive monuments from this period, such as the Royal Castle overlooking the Wawel Hill, where the country’s monarchs lived. Copernicus Hotel is located on Kanonicza, the city’s oldest street. For centuries, this building was a part of the cathedral chapel and hosted the intellectual and financial elite of Krakow. It owes its name to the famous Polish astronomer Nicolas Copernicus, who was one of the guests of the house. He, too, must have admired the precious polychrome paintings and inscriptions dating from the 1500s and, in the evening, the flaming sunsets that seem to set the city alight. After visiting the city, relax at the Copernicus Spa by L’Occitane with a range of custom treatments.

An essential stop along the famed Route des Grands Crus, the charming medieval village of Saint-Emilion is home to Hôtel de Pavie, an intimate establishment with an elegant atmosphere. With its gastronomic restaurant–whose menu is spearheaded by Yannick Alléno–it’s a must-visit for epicureans that’s just 40 minutes from Bordeaux. Rooms and suites are arranged around three buildings: La Maison du Clocher (or Bell Tower), named for its neighboring, iconic church; La Maison de Village, a historic residence featuring Roman ceramics and English style; and La Maison des Suites, which juxtaposes contemporary decor with the historic character of its 18th-century origins. Its restaurant–La Table de Pavie–offers its interpretation of regional haute cuisine, paired with wines from surrounding vineyards. You can admire the landscape from the raised terrace, which also offers breathtaking views over the city’s rooftops.

Imagine a veritable time capsule hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the great Pacific port of Guayaquil. In the 1980s, historic buildings threatened with destruction were moved, rebuilt and renovated plank-by-plank on the banks of the Daule. Hotel del Parque was one of these buildings. Today, you can discover it standing elegantly, wrapped in the tropical bosom of a vast botanical garden.

Sitting on the waterfront, the hotel’s restaurant, Casa Julián, specialises in the finest seafood and freshest fish. Having embraced the local culinary tradition of soups and stews, its chef is also known to skilfully play with the flavours and textures of avocado, banana and cocoa.

In the guest book of the Hotel Dollenberg, one visitor wrote: “What a shame you can’t cuddle a hotel.” This hotel offers a hospitable atmosphere and excellent service, both of which engender such warm feelings. The relaxing treatments in the spa, the magical dinners in romantic forest clearings of Bad Peterstal and the delightful landscapes of the Black Forest all make for a wonderful stay. Chef Martin Herrmann, the figurehead of the Dollenberg, focuses on the elements which are absolutely indispensable for the dishes. He creates an inventive cuisine inspired by France and the Baden terroir.

At the foot of hills on the Dalmatian coast, surrounded by vineyards and pine forests, Orebić has preserved all the charm and authenticity of a traditional Croatian fishing village–an ideal setting for Hotel Katarina, located right on the seafront in a garden dotted with palm trees.
